They've discovered that seratonin has an effect on the retina - but they 
don't know what the result is.  They were looking for clock mechanisms, and 
were suprised to find that there is one in the retina and it is affected by 
seratonin.  They can only speculate as to the purpose of the clock or what 
seratonin does to your eyes.
