Nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and the chronobiology of mood: a new insight into the "neurotrophic hypothesis" [PDF]

, 2015
The light information pathways and their relationship with the body rhythms have generated a new insight into the neurobiology and the neurobehavioral sciences, as well as into the clinical approaches to human diseases associated with disruption of ...

Diurnal preference and sleep quality: same genes? A study of young adult twins [PDF]

, 2010
The aims of this study were to examine the genetic and environmental influences on diurnal preference and sleep quality, the association between these phenotypes, the genetic and environmental influences on this association, and the magnitude of overlap ...

Introduction to Chronobiology [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2017
A diverse range of species, from cyanobacteria to humans, evolved endogenous biological clocks that allow for the anticipation of daily variations in light and temperature. The ability to anticipate regular environmental rhythms promotes optimal performance and survival.

A medullary hub for controlling REM sleep and pontine waves

Nature Communications, 2023
Rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep is a distinct behavioral state associated with vivid dreaming and memory processing. Phasic bursts of electrical activity, measurable as spike-like pontine (P)-waves, are a hallmark of REM sleep implicated in memory ...

Rodent models for the analysis of tissue clock function in metabolic rhythms research [PDF]

, 2017
The circadian timing system consists on a distributed network of cellular clocks that together coordinate 24-h rhythms of physiology and behavior. Clock function and metabolism are tightly coupled, from the cellular to the organismal level.

Blue-light filtering spectacle lenses for visual performance, sleep, and macular health in adults [PDF]

, 2019
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess whether blue-light filtering spectacle lenses impart effects on visual function, provide protection to the macula, or both.

Chronobiology and Anesthesia [PDF]

Anesthesiology, 2004
CHRONOBIOLOGY investigates biologic rhythms that are involved in the organization of living organisms. Biologic rhythms consist of variations of biologic phenomena that are periodic and foreseeable in time. They are genetically determined as indicated by their persistence during constant conditions such as continuous light or darkness.

Circadian cuisine in synchronizing holistic nutrition and biological rhythms

World Nutrition
Chronobiology is an emerging area of research exploring the complex relationship between circadian rhythms and nutrition. This review discusses the interplay of chronobiology and overall nutrition. In simpler terms, the time we eat affects our nutrition

Differential impact in young and older individuals of blue-enriched white light on circadian physiology and alertness during sustained wakefulness

Scientific Reports, 2017
We tested the effect of different lights as a countermeasure against sleep-loss decrements in alertness, melatonin and cortisol profile, skin temperature and wrist motor activity in healthy young and older volunteers under extendend wakefulness. 26 young

Chronobiology by moonlight [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2013
Most studies in chronobiology focus on solar cycles (daily and annual). Moonlight and the lunar cycle received considerably less attention by chronobiologists. An exception are rhythms in intertidal species. Terrestrial ecologists long ago acknowledged the effects of moonlight on predation success, and consequently on predation risk, foraging behaviour
