Abstract
In non-responders to sleep deprivation, the error count in the Bimanual Eye-Hand Coordination Test positively correlated with the expression of several clock genes.
- Sleep deprivation may influence mood and cognitive abilities, particularly psychomotor functions.
- Seventy participants were evaluated for mood changes and psychomotor function after sleep deprivation.
- Participants were categorized as responders or non-responders based on mood changes.
- In non-responders, clock gene expression was associated with increased errors in psychomotor tasks.
- The variability in psychomotor performance could be explained by clock gene expression to a significant extent.
