Chronobiology

open access: yes, 2009
Chronobiology is the study of biological processes with respect to time, specifically concerning the four environmental rhythms, namely tide, day, moon and season. It is not concerned with linear time-dependent processes such as aging.

An Automated Organotypic SCN Culture System Revealing Novel Insights into VIP Regulation of Circadian Rhythm

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An Automated ex vivo culture system BaSIC, tailored for SCN slices and cell culture, which automates medium exchange and ensures a stable internal environment is developed. BaSIC enables real‐time observation of tissue/cell responses to diverse but programmed stimuli.

Functional anatomy of non-REM sleep [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The state of non-REM sleep (NREM), or slow wave sleep, is associated with a synchronized EEG pattern in which sleep spindles and/or K complexes and high-voltage slow wave activity (SWA) can be recorded over the entire cortical surface.

Timing is everything: Expert opinion on researching epilepsy rhythms by the ILAE Task Force on Chronobiology

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Recurrent seizures, the hallmark of epilepsy, are influenced by rhythms operating over multiple timescales. Chronobiology is the study of biological timing that aims to explain temporal patterns of events like seizures. Fueled by recent advances in genetics, computational modeling, and device engineering, the chronobiology of epilepsy is now a

The moderating effect of prefrontal response to sleep-related stimuli on the association between depression and sleep disturbance in insomnia disorder

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
We investigated differences in brain activity in response to sleep-related pictures between chronic insomnia disorder (CID) patients and good sleepers (GS), and examined whether brain activity moderated the relationship between depressive symptoms and ...

Daily Activity Patterns of 2,316 Men and Women from Five Countries Differing in Socioeconomic Development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Daily rhythmicity in the locomotor activity of laboratory animals has been studied in great detail for many decades, but the daily pattern of locomotor activity has not received as much attention in humans. We collected waist-worn accelerometer data from

Advanced circular statistics in biology: Multiple factors, interactions and repeated measures

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Circular data is common across biology and the wider sciences, but presents unique analytical challenges due to their wrapped structure, where endpoints coincide (e.g. 360° = 0°). This requires the use of specific statistical methods. Traditional tests like the Rayleigh and Watson U2 tests remain widely used, but lack flexibility in handling ...

Neuronal Responses to Short Wavelength Light Deficiency in the Rat Subcortical Visual System

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
The amount and spectral composition of light changes considerably during the day, with dawn and dusk being the most crucial moments when light is within the mesopic range and short wavelength enriched.

Chronobiological Aspects of Narcolepsy [PDF]

open access: yesSleep, 1994
The circadian, circasemidian and ultradian features of sleep-wake patterns in narcolepsy are reviewed with respect to the hypotheses that chronobiological disturbances might either be specific to the condition or contribute to its symptomatic profile.

The Impact of Lunar Phases During Day and Night Cycles on Perinatal Outcomes: A Nationwide Cohort Study

open access: yesBirth, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Light changes during the lunar cycle affect rhythms in diverse species. Human studies focusing on whether the moon influences human health have so far neglected the effects of light/dark cycles. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether lunar phases impact perinatal outcomes by considering illumination levels due to day ...
