Cajochen C, Montagnese S J Sleep Res While there is considerable enthusiasm for the translational and clinical applications of chronobiology, their actual implementation is not progressing as rapidly as might be expected. Here we discuss the possibility that this may relate to a combination of conceptual, methodological, evidentiary and training challenges. These are compounded by […]
Biscontin A, Russo A, Marnetto D, Pagani L, Costa R, Montagnese S J Biol Rhythms The present study aimed to develop a TaqMan genotyping card for molecular chronotype assessment based on a predictive panel of 35 previously identified genetic variants. A reliable TaqMan assay was successfully developed for 33 out of the 35 chronotype-predictive variants. […]
Giusti G, Mangini C, Erminelli D, Domenie ED, Montagnese S Chronobiology International One of the main challenges in translating chronobiology research into clinical practice is represented by differences in how basic scientists and clinicians evaluate evidence. The workshop “Assessing Evidence in Translational Chronobiology,” which was held at the University of Surrey in June 2023, addressed […]
Zarantonello L, Brigadoi S, Schiff S, Bisiacchi PS, Cutini S, Montagnese S, Amodio P Behav Neurosci The n-back task has been widely used to study working memory. Previous studies investigating the electrophysiological (electroencephalogram [EEG]) and hemodynamic correlates (functional near-infrared spectroscopy [fNIRS]) of the n-back task have been generally based on verbal stimuli and only investigated […]
Orsini F, Domenie ED, Zarantonello L, Costa R, Montagnese S, Rossi R Heliyon The study of the relationship between Daylight Saving Time (DST) and road safety has yielded contrasting results, most likely in relation to the inability of crash-database approaches to unravel positive (ambient lighting-related) and negative (circadian/sleep-related) effects, and to significant geographical differences in […]
Domenie ED, Zarantonello L, Mangini C, Formentin C, Giusti G, Ruggerini D, Cusumano P, Biscontin A, Costa R, Montagnese S J Circadian Rhythms The human circadian timing system depends on the light/dark cycle as its main cue to synchronize with the environment, and thus with solar time. However, human activities depend also on social time, […]
Orsini F, Giusti G, Zarantonello L, Costa R, Montagnese S, Rossi R Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour The Spring transition to Daylight Saving Time (DST) has been associated with several health and road safety issues. Previous literature has focused primarily on the analysis of historical crash and hospitalization data, without investigating specific […]

Orsini F, Zarantonello L, Costa R, Rossi R, Montagnese S iScience Circadian desynchrony and sleep deprivation related to the Spring transition to Daylight Saving Time (DST) have been associated with several unfavorable outcomes, including an increase in road traffic accidents. As previous work has mainly focused on analyzing historical crash/hospitalization data, there is virtually no literature […]
Biscontin A, Zarantonello L, Russo A, Costa R, Montagnese R J Biol Rhythms The aim of the present study was to develop a Polygenic Score-based model for molecular chronotype assessment. Questionnaire-based phenotypical chronotype assessment was used as a reference. In total, 54 extremely morning/morning (MM/M; 35 females, 39.7 ± 3.8 years) and 44 extremely evening/evening […]
