People who are blind, obviously can't see. But new research shows that while they can't see, their brains can! Anthony explains what this means and how this ability actually plays an important role in a blind person's everyday life.

Circadian rhythm sleep disorders: lessons from the blind
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/...
"As totally blind people cannot perceive the light--dark cycle (the major synchroniser of the circadian pacemaker) their circadian rhythms often "free run" on a cycle slightly longer than 24 h."
Study With Totally Blind People Shows How Light Helps Activate the Brain
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/...
"Light enhances brain activity during a cognitive task even in some people who are totally blind, according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of Montreal and Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital."
Circadian rhythm abnormalities in totally blind people: incidence and clinical significance.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16...
"When people are completely isolated from environmental time cues, their circadian rhythms free run with a nearly 24-h cycle, generated by an internal body clock. Free-running temperature, cortisol, and melatonin rhythms have also been described in totally blind people, even though they were living in normal society and had access to abundant time cues; thus an intact visual system may be essential for synchronization of the circadian system."

"The ganglion cell layer (ganglionic layer) is a layer of the retina that consists of retinal ganglion cells and displaced amacrine cells."
