Actogram

An actogram is a plot that shows rhythms in biological variables throughout the day. Traditionally, actograms describe phases of activity and rest, but they have also been used to visualize rhythms in protein phosphorylation, gene expression, and hormone secretion. Actograms are commonly used to study the underlying circadian rhythms of animals in fields such as ecology, reproductive biology, and sleep medicine.
