When rats are fed a high fat diet, this disturbs the body clock in their brain that normally controls satiety, leading to over-eating and obesity.…
Eating milk chocolate every day may sound like a recipe for weight gain, but a new study of postmenopausal women has found that eating a…
People whose sleep pattern goes against their natural body clock are more likely to have depression and lower levels of wellbeing, according to a largescale…
Waking up just one hour earlier could reduce a person’s risk of major depression by 23%, suggests a sweeping new genetic study published on May…
A schema summarizing the effects caused by the deficiency of GABAergic transmission from vasopressin neurons on circadian rhythms at multiple levels. Without GABA release from…
Waste clearance is crucial for brain health, preventing neurodegenerative disease. A new Northwestern University study reaffirms the importance of getting a good night’s sleep. By…
Understanding the complex network of genes controlling sleep cycles in people, animals, plants can lead to advances in human health, crop production. How body clocks…
The optogenetic tool “Channelrhodopsin2” expresses CRF neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus in mice. These neurons were found to be part of the…
Moon phases. For centuries, humans have blamed the moon for our moods, accidents, and even natural disasters. But new research indicates that our planet’s celestial…
Figure 1. PER abundance oscillates in a circadian manner through an autoregulatory negative feedback loop. This oscillation enables robust timekeeping of circadian-timed physiological and behavioral…
New research published today in the Journal of Physiology shows that just one 60 minutes bout of exercise shifted the muscle clocks of mice by around an…
