Can exercise attenuate the effect of acute exposure to urban lighting on behaviour and brain? University of Glasgow Past award Student: Dimana Atanassova : University of Glasgow Year Award Started: 2016 There is increasing evidence that daily rhythms, sleep and urbanisation influence physical and mental health and that this may be independent of effects of diet and physical activity. Research indicates that at least some of this influence may be via brain inflammation. We will investigate the relationship between urban lighting and markers of behaviour, weight and brain inflammation, and whether these relationships are modulated by daily rhythms.
