According to a new study, a lack of sunlight has been linked to reduced cognitive function in people who suffer from depression. For their study, scientists used weather data from NASA satellites to measure sunlight exposure across the United States. They were then able to link this information to the prevalence of cognitive impairment in depressed people. The scientists say their finding suggests that lack of sunlight may not only affect mood, but thinking as well.
