Shift in Food Intake and Changes in Metabolic Regulation and Gene Expression during Simulated Night-Shift Work: A Rat Model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Night-shift work is linked to a shift in food intake toward the normal sleeping period, and to metabolic disturbance. We applied a rat model of night-shift work to assess the immediate effects of such a shift in food intake ... -
Shift work, circadian rhythms and the brain : Identifying biological mechanisms underlying the metabolic and cognitive consequences of work timing, using a rat model
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-04-29)Shift work, and night shift work in particular, is associated with negative health effects. In the short term, night shift work is associated with increased risk of errors and accidents. In the long term, night shift work ... -
Signatures of exposure to childhood trauma in young adults in the structure and neurochemistry of the superior temporal gyrus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: Childhood trauma (CT) has been linked to increased risk for mental illness in adulthood. Although work in experimental animals has shown that early life stressors can affect inhibitory and excitatory ... -

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Introduction: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) block-design experiments typically include active ON-blocks with presentation of cognitive tasks which are contrasted with OFF- blocks with no tasks presented. ... -
Simultaneous Measurement of the BOLD Effect and Metabolic Changes in Response to Visual Stimulation Using the MEGA-PRESS Sequence at 3 T
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) effect that provides the contrast in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been demonstrated to affect the linewidth of spectral peaks as measured with magnetic resonance ... -
Single-centre, non-randomised clinical trial at a tertiary care centre to investigate 1-year changes in social experiences and biomarkers of well-being after bariatric surgery in individuals with severe obesity: protocol for the Bariatric Surgery and Social Experiences (BaSES) study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Introduction Obesity is linked to increased loneliness and less enjoyment of social interactions. While bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment targeting severe obesity, there is limited understanding as to whether ... -

Sleep homeostasis and night work: a polysomnographic study of daytime sleep following three consecutive simulated night shifts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Purpose: Millions of people work at times that overlap with the habitual time for sleep. Consequently, sleep often occurs during the day. Daytime sleep is, however, characterized by reduced sleep duration. Despite preserved ... -
Social and non-social feedback stimuli lead to comparable levels of reward learning and reward responsiveness in an online probabilistic reward task
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Social stimuli seem to be processed more easily and efficiently than non-social stimuli. The current study tested whether social feedback stimuli improve reward learning in a probabilistic reward task (PRT), in which one ... -
