This study shows that circadian misalignment contributes to myopia across species, with reversible effects in mice and associations in human populations.

The paper identifies widespread 24-hour gene expression rhythms in human tissues using local phase inference, revealing previously underestimated rhythmic transcription in the brain and associations with neurodegenerative diseases.

This study identifies genetic associations for multiple sleep disorders and medications in over 1.6 million individuals, revealing shared and unique genetic factors across sleep traits.

This study identifies a genetic variant associated with light sensitivity by analyzing the interaction between daylight exposure and chronotype in a large cohort.

The paper identifies sleep-like slow waves in the awake brain associated with attentional lapses, mind wandering, and mind blanking through behavioral and neural analysis.
