Abstract

Circadian rhythms are inherent to living organisms from single cells to humans and operate on a genetically determined cycle of approximately 24 hours. These endogenous rhythms are aligned with the external light/dark cycle of the Earth's rotation and offer the advantage of anticipating environmental changes. Circadian rhythms act directly on human cognition and indirectly through their fundamental influence on sleep/wake cycles. The strength of the circadian regulation of performance depends on the accumulated sleep debt and the cognitive domain, and it has been suggested to involve the activation of ascending arousal systems and their interaction with attention and other cognitive processes. In addition, attention-related cortical responses show extensive circadian rhythms, the phases of which vary across brain regions. This review discusses the impact of the circadian system on sleep/wake regulation and cognitive performance. It further addresses the health implications of circadian disruption, particularly in relation to mental and neurological disorders.

昼夜节律脑与认知

昼夜节律是生物体（从单细胞到人类）所固有的，以基因决定的大约 24 小时为周期。这些内生节律与地球自转的外部光/暗周期一致，具有预测环境变化的优势。昼夜节律直接作用于人类的认知，并通过对睡眠/觉醒周期的基本影响间接发挥作用。昼夜节律对表现的调节强度取决于累积的睡眠债务和认知领域，有人认为这涉及到上升唤醒系统的激活及其与注意力和其他认知过程的相互作用。此外，与注意力相关的皮层反应显示出广泛的昼夜节律，不同脑区的昼夜节律阶段各不相同。本综述讨论了昼夜节律系统对睡眠/觉醒调节和认知能力的影响。它还进一步探讨了昼夜节律紊乱对健康的影响，特别是与精神和神经系统疾病有关的影响。

期刊介绍： The Annual Review of Psychology, a publication that has been available since 1950, provides comprehensive coverage of the latest advancements in psychological research. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including the biological underpinnings of human behavior, the intricacies of our senses and perception, the functioning of the mind, animal behavior and learning, human development, psychopathology, clinical and counseling psychology, social psychology, personality, environmental psychology, community psychology, and much more. In a recent development, the current volume of this esteemed journal has transitioned from a subscription-based model to an open access format as part of the Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open initiative.
