In the study, 87 participants with normal hearing, aged 19 to 26 y, were classified into morning, intermediate, and evening types using a questionnaire. The participants underwent a battery of spatial and working memory tests twice, in the morning and evening conditions, to examine within and across-group differences. The spatial tests included the virtual auditory spatial identification (VASI test), interaural differences in time (ITD) and level (ILD) tests, while the working memory tests included forward span and 2n-back tests. The results indicated a significant effect of diurnal preference on the test scores based on the time of test (p < 0.001), suggestive of enhanced performance during peak hours on both auditory spatial and working memory tests. The performance of morning and evening types peaked during their respective active biological cycles. These findings highlight the importance of considering diurnal preference when evaluating auditory spatial and working memory abilities and may have implications for scheduling cognitive tasks that require high levels of attention and concentration.","PeriodicalId":9208,"journal":{"name":"Biological Rhythm Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49282335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aims of the present work were to evaluate the daily presence and localization of HA in two structures proposed as putative pacemakers of the crayfish, the eyestalk and the brain in females and males. We also evaluated whether there are changes in the F0 generation with respect to the F1 generation. Adult crayfish were used, euthanized at different times of day, to excise the eyestalk and brain and process them through immunohistochemical techniques. The results obtained showed that the immunopositivity to HA in the eyestalk and brain of the crayfish undergoes daily variations in both females and males, as well as between the F0 and F1 generations.","PeriodicalId":9208,"journal":{"name":"Biological Rhythm Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49293192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study has been designed to understand the impact of two major seasons viz. summer (February-June) and rainy (July-September) on biochemical and immunological traits in three backyard poultry breeds viz. Desi (non-descript indigenous), Nicobari Fowl, and Vanaraja of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, for the first time. Ninety adult poultry birds were randomly selected from three different rural villages of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands including Desi (D, n = 30), Nicobari Fowl (NF, n = 30) and Vanaraja (V, n = 30). Ten birds each of D, NF and V from each village (sex ratio− 1:1) were chosen for the study. Serum samples collected (n=/bird/season/breed) from the three breeds were analysed. The study revealed that season had significant effect on biochemical parameters, i.e. serum albumin (p < 0.0001), globulin (p < 0.01), ALP (p < 0.05), total bilirubin (p < 0.05) and serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (p < 0.05). Moreover, season had significant effect on immune parameters i.e. IL−2 (p < 0.0001), IL−4 (p < 0.0001), IL−6 (p < 0.0001&p < 0.05), HSP−70 (p < 0.0001&p < 0.01), TLR−4 (p < 0.01&p < 0.05) and INF-γ (p < 0.0001). It was observed that breed had significant effect on total bilirubin (D-V & NF-V, p < 0.0001), serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (NF-V, p < 0.01 &D-V, p < 0.05).
