Abstract
In a sample of 49 late chronotype young adults, thinner cortical thickness was observed in the left pars orbitalis compared to matched early chronotype individuals.
- Cortical thickness and other brain structure indicators were examined in relation to chronotype preference.
- Late chronotype (LC) individuals showed lower cortical mean curve measurements in the right paracentral gyrus.
- The study emphasizes the relationship between an individual's sleep preference and specific structural brain characteristics.
- Findings may support the idea that chronotype is linked to variations in brain structure among healthy young adults.
