Significant differences exist in human brain functions affected by time of day and by people's diurnal preferences (chronotypes) that are rarely considered in brain studies. In the current study, using network neuroscience and resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) data, we examined the effect of both time of day and the individual's chronotype on whole-brain network organization. In this regard, 62 participants (39 women; mean age: 23.97 ± 3.26 years; half morning- versus half evening-type) were scanned about 1 and 10 h after wake-up time for morning and evening sessions, respectively. We found evidence for a time-of-day effect on connectivity profiles but not for the effect of chronotype. Compared with the morning session, we found relatively higher small-worldness (an index that represents more efficient network organization) in the evening session, which suggests the dominance of sleep inertia over the circadian and homeostatic processes in the first hours after waking. Furthermore, local graph measures were changed, predominantly across the left hemisphere, in areas such as the precentral gyrus, putamen, inferior frontal gyrus (orbital part), inferior temporal gyrus, as well as the bilateral cerebellum. These findings show the variability of the functional neural network architecture during the day and improve our understanding of the role of time of day in resting-state functional networks.
人类大脑功能受一天中的时间以及人们的昼夜偏好(生物钟类型)影响存在显著差异,而大脑研究中很少考虑这些因素。在当前研究中,我们使用网络神经科学和静息态功能磁共振成像(rs-fMRI)数据,研究了一天中的时间和个体生物钟类型对全脑网络组织的影响。在这方面,62名参与者(39名女性;平均年龄:23.97±3.26岁;一半为早晨型,一半为夜晚型)分别在早晨和晚上醒来后约1小时和10小时接受扫描。我们发现了一天中的时间对连接性概况有影响的证据,但未发现生物钟类型的影响。与早晨扫描相比,我们发现晚上扫描时小世界特性(一个代表网络组织更高效的指标)相对较高,这表明在醒来后的最初几个小时里,睡眠惯性比昼夜节律和稳态过程更占主导。此外,局部图测量发生了变化,主要发生在左半球的中央前回、壳核、额下回(眶部)、颞下回以及双侧小脑等区域。这些发现显示了白天功能神经网络结构的可变性,并增进了我们对一天中的时间在静息态功能网络中作用的理解。
