The instructor used technology effectively
Understand the possible involvement of hormonal and nervous pathways in the effects of LAN on liver metabolism
Identify the different physical characteristics of artificial light on human sleep, circadian physiology and neurobehavioral performance
Appreciate that a network of inputs can contribute to seasonal depression - to find out how symptoms “causing” other symptoms is not rare in our informal clinical thinking - will SAD as a model to learn that although it is not a formal part of our usual definitions of a disorder
Examine the evidence of adverse health outcomes from circadian dysregulation, examine measures to assess human chronotype, ways to implement interventions to diminish circadian misalignment and reduce detrimental health effects
The instructor used technology effectively
Understand to the role of direct effects of light on sleep and alertness, the circadian drive and the sleep homeostatic process
Identify genetic factors including the diurnal transcriptome atlas of Papio anubis (baboon) that may reveal the extent and the unique features of the rhythmic gene expression in the primate
Understand the optimal sequences of light flashes for inducing rapid resetting of the human circadian clock
The instructor used technology effectively
Identify the Campbell Paradigm (CP) used to measure individual differences in attitude/commitment toward sleep hygiene, to appreciate the amount of effort and costs a person is willing to invest in promoting or maintaining good sleep
Explain the preschool age children's sensitivity to light in the hour before bedtime can impact outcomes in children with sleep disorders and using this knowledge to advise parents on ways to improve their children's sleep
Apply new applications for wake-EEG as a measure of alertness - example from a study on the effects daytime polychromatic white light exposure which may depend on the light spectrum and intensity
Identify the need for adjusting reference values with respect to circadian timing while interpreting ERG results.
Identify the interconnection between circadian regulation and energy homeostasis in the mouse model
The instructor used technology effectively
The instructor used technology effectively
Identify a new potentially universal method to detect circadian state from gene expression and understand potential applications to circadian disorders beyond sleep
The instructor used technology effectively
Identify acute diurnal effects of light exposure on the human circadian clock
Explain the induction of inflammatory processes preceded by disruptions in the intrinsic circadian clock
Explain adaptations in human circadian rhythms from constant shift work schedules
The instructor used technology effectively
Understand the effects of light exposure on sleep and mood in the general population based on recent data reports
Compare the effects between a dynamic pattern and a static situation as defined in offices' guidelines on workers' performance, well-being, sleep and appreciation.
Understand the effects of light on subjective sleepiness which may depend on elapsed time awake and circadian phase.
LIst the effects of continuously changing color temperatures and illuminances during a 16 period of wakefulness on melatonin production, skin temperature and sleep.
Identify the effects of light transitions on subjective and objective measures of alertness, comfort and affective state
The instructor used technology effectively
Describe light exposures, light treatments and lighting designs in terms of all five photoreceptor inputs (rods, RGB-cones, ipRGCs) that can contribute to eye-mediated non-image forming responses
The instructor used technology effectively
The instructor used technology effectively
Know the diagnostic criteria of major mood disorders, to appreciate the research study methods and design applied in clinical trials of light therapy.
The instructor used technology effectively
Identify potential effects of Bright Light Therapy on symptoms of depression during pregnancy
Identify ways in which exposure to circadian-active morning bright light improves vigilance and attention in clinically fatigued women recently treated for breast cancer
Explain how the circadian system will respond to new stimuli over time
Explain the association between evening exposure to electronic devices and effects on sleep including individual's midpoint of sleep and chronotypes among employees in Japan
The instructor used technology effectively
Identify the physiological measures of stress (heart rate and pulse pressure) collected via a wrist worn activity monitor and the correlations with self-report assessments of mindfulness, stress, depression and trauma symptoms
Explain how to make informed decisions on the available treatments that incorporate light therapy and chronotherapeutics
Summarize new findings on human circadian rhythms in cellular metabolism and circadian gene expression that regulate dopamine synthesis and the impact on reward value in patients with problems with drugs of abuse.
