Mice with humanized livers reveal the role of hepatocyte clocks in rhythmic behavior
Cédric Gobet, Sylviane Métairon, Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Benjamin Dieter Weger
The synchronization of circadian clock depends on a central pacemaker located in the suprachiasmatic nuclei. However, the potential feedback of peripheral signals on the central clock remains poorly characterized. To explore whether peripheral organ circad ...
AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE2023We crave daylight – but not just to see
New insights into the psycho-physiological effects of (day)light on humans. How much do these effects matter in our indoor environment, wherein we spend 90% of our time nowadays? Through this talk, Marilyne Andersen establishes connections between architec ...
2022Optimized office lighting advances melatonin phase and peripheral heat loss prior bedtime
Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Mirjam Münch, Marta Benedetti, Lenka Maierova
Improving indoor lighting conditions at the workplace has the potential to support proper circadian entrainment of hormonal rhythms, sleep, and well-being. We tested the effects of optimized dynamic daylight and electric lighting on circadian phase of mela ...
2022Preliminary evidence that daily light exposure enhances the antibody response to influenza vaccination in patients with dementia
Enhancing lighting conditions in institutions for individuals with dementia improves their sleep, circadian rhythms and well-being. Here, we report first findings that exposure to brighter light during daytime may support the immune response to the annual ...
ELSEVIER2022Global brain dynamics under visual entrainment
David Pascucci, Maëlan Quentin Menétrey
Cognitive and perceptual functions depend on the momentary dynamics of the brain. A typical approach to investigate these dynamics is through the so-called method of entrainment. In entrainment, a rhythmic stimulation (e.g., a periodic visual or auditory s ...
2022Exploring light exposure of hospital nurses working rapidly rotating shifts in relation to sleepiness and sleep
Nightshift work can negatively impact sleep, performance, and health. Careful manipulation of light exposure patterns can help reduce these negative effects but is challenging in conditions of rapidly rotating shiftwork and due to individual differences. A ...

2021Contactless Sleep Monitoring for Early Detection of Health Deteriorations in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Exploratory Study
Daniel Gatica-Perez, Philipp Buluschek, Bruno Pais
Background: Population aging is posing multiple social and economic challenges to society. One such challenge is the social and economic burden related to increased health care expenditure caused by early institutionalizations. The use of modern pervasive ...
JMIR PUBLICATIONS, INC2021Integrating non-visual effects of light in the automated daylight-responsive control of blinds and electric lighting
The use of daylight in buildings is important because it contributes to energy savings by reducing the use of electric lighting and space heating. It also impacts on biological functions and on well-being. Indeed, light not only allows vision, but has non- ...
EPFL2021Rapid suppression and sustained activation of distinct cortical regions for a delayed sensory-triggered motor response
Wulfram Gerstner, Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Alireza Modirshanechi, Vahid Esmaeili, Yanqi Liu, Georgios Foustoukos, Samuel Pavio Muscinelli, Keita Tamura, Anastasiia Oryshchuk, Marta Boscaglia
The neuronal mechanisms generating a delayed motor response initiated by a sensory cue remain elusive. Here, we tracked the precise sequence of cortical activity in mice transforming a brief whisker stimulus into delayed licking using wide-field calcium im ...
