Effects on subjective and objective alertness and sleep in response to evening light exposure in older subjects

Evening bright light exposure is reported to ameliorate daytime sleepiness and age-related sleep complaints, and also delays the timing of circadian rhythms. We tested whether evening light exposure given to older adults with sleep–wake complaints would de ...

On the Relationship Between Protein-DNA Interactions and Circadian Gene Expression in Mouse Liver

Guillaume Rey

Virtually every cell in our body tracks daily time using an endogenous mechanism called the circadian clock, which has a period of about 24 hours. This timing system offers a selective advantage by enabling organisms to anticipate periodic changes in envir ...

Comparison of objective and subjective visual comfort and associations with non-visual functions in young subjects

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Mirjam Münch, Friedrich Linhart, Apiparn Borisuit

Visual comfort is a key element at work places and at home. Besides task illuminance and color rendering it is the indoor light distribution, which strongly impacts visual comfort. We aimed to show possible relations between subjective and objective visual ...

The mammalian circadian timing system: synchronization of peripheral clocks

David Michael Suter

Mammalian physiology has to adapt to daily alternating periods during which animals either forage and feed or sleep and fast. The adaptation of physiology to these oscillations is controlled by a circadian timekeeping system, in which a master pacemaker in ...

The anti-Parkinsonian drug selegiline delays the nucleation phase of α-synuclein aggregation leading to the formation of nontoxic species

Hilal Lashuel, Saviana Di Giovanni

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a movement disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the formation of intraneuronal inclusions called Lewy bodies, which are composed mainly of α-synuclein (α-syn). Selegiline (Sel) i ...

Circadian Effects of Daylighting in a Residential Environment

Marilyne Andersen, Sharon Jane Gochenour

This paper examines the effects of housing design upon the amount of natural light available for cuing of the human circadian system. It further assesses whether the conditions present in historic Boston row houses, when considered in the context of human ...

Prospective evaluation of the Circadian Efficacy of (Day)Light in Rooms

Marilyne Andersen, Steven W. Lockley

Recent studies have attempted to link environmental cues, such as lighting, with human performance and health, and initial findings seem to indicate a positive correlation between the two. Light is the major environmental time cue that resets the human cir ...

Dynamical signatures of cellular fluctuations and oscillator stability in peripheral circadian clocks

Felix Naef, Jacques Rougemont

Cell-autonomous and self-sustained molecular oscillators drive circadian behavior and physiology in mammals. From rhythms recorded in cultured fibroblasts we identified the dominant cause for amplitude reduction as desynchronization of self-sustained oscil ...

Control of daily transcript oscillations in Drosophila by light and the circadian clock

Felix Naef

The transcriptional circuits of circadian clocks control physiological and behavioral rhythms. Light may affect such overt rhythms in two ways: (1) by entraining the clock circuits and (2) via clock-independent molecular pathways. In this study we examine ...
