Shift work associated with smaller brain size
A recent study revealed that working in shifts is associated with a slight reduction in the size of key brain regions, such as the thalamus and the amygdala, along with deterioration of white matter among healthy adults. The findings showed that partial recovery is possible after discontinuing this work pattern for about two and a half years, highlighting the significant impact of circadian rhythm disruption, changes in light exposure, and meal timings on these alterations.
