It has long been known that sunlight can affect mood. A new study shows that sunlight, or lack of it, can affect thinking power.

Short-term recall in particular can be affected by lack of natural light, according to a University of Alabama study by a team led by Shia Kent.

The effects were most striking in study participants with depression coupled with lack of sunlight.
