Summary
This paper discusses the effects of light pollution, shift work, and intercontinental travels on the internal temporal organization of our circadian system, using rodent models to study the functionality of the circadian system in physiological and pathological conditions.
Categories
Shift work: The paper discusses the impact of shift work on the internal temporal organization of our circadian system, using rodent models for the study.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper explores the functionality of the circadian system, which is crucial for cognitive function and memory, in physiological and pathological conditions.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the effects of light pollution, a factor related to lighting design, on the internal temporal organization of our circadian system.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of the hormone melatonin in the maintenance of synchronization to the 24 hour light/dark cycle, indicating its relevance to hormone regulation.
