The study also suggested that similar brain disturbance could occur in anyone who works at night or has an unusual schedule.

University of California researchers have experimented with female hamsters for a 6-hour shift schedule - similar to a flight from New York to Paris - twice a week and within 4 weeks .

As expected, the hamsters tested had difficulty learning how to do very simple exercises that other mice, who had more rest in the 4-week period, could complete well. mission.

What is surprising, however, is that such an effect lasts for months after test mice return to their normal lives.
