Summary
This paper investigates the effect of biological circadian rhythms on hemodynamic and effective connectivity parameters throughout the day, using neuroimaging techniques.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how cognitive functions like processing speed, reasoning, visual search are dependent on individual circadian rhythmicity.
Education and learning: The paper explores the relationship between circadian processes, neural activity and the fMRI signal, which may provide a possible way to boost the validity and reliability of fMRI studies, thus contributing to the field of education and learning.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper mentions the human sleep cycle that repeats itself in a 90 minute pattern during the main sleep period, which is an example of ultradian rhythms.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses how circadian rhythmicity affects the release of hormones like cortisol.
Well-being: The paper suggests that understanding the effect of circadian rhythms on neural activity and parameters influencing the measurement of this activity in resting state fMRI data may contribute to overall well-being.
