Circadian fluctuations in glucocorticoid level predict perceptual discrimination sensitivity

Circadian fluctuations in glucocorticoid level predict perceptual discrimination sensitivity

Summary: Slow neurobiological rhythms, such as the circadian secretion of glucocorticoid (GC) hormones, modulate a variety of body functions. Whether and how endocrine fluctuations also exert an influence on perceptual abilities is largely uncharted. Here, we show that phasic increases in GC availab...
