Simulated natural daylight and twilight modulate activity and light sampling behaviour in mice

Collectively, our results demonstrate the significance of changes in intensity and spectrum across twilight for regulating mouse behaviour. These findings highlight important differences in mouse behaviour under naturalistic environments compared to normal laboratory conditions.
