Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients often exhibit perturbed circadian rhythm with fragmented sleep before disease onset. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of a 40-Hz light flicker on circadian rhythm in an AD mouse model (APP/PS1).

Solving the mystery of human sleep schedules one mutation at a time. [PDF]
Sleep behavior remains one of the most enigmatic areas of life. The unanswered questions range from "why do we sleep?" to "how we can improve sleep in today's society?" Identification of mutations responsible for altered circadian regulation of human ...

Circadian rhythms in obsessive–compulsive disorder [PDF]
The etiopathology and neurobiology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are not fully understood. As for altered circadian rhythms associated with OCD, hormonal dysregulation and a delayed sleep phase have come into the focus of research. The novel antidepressant agomelatine is able to resynchronize circadian rhythms and the augmentative ...

The melatonergic system in mood and anxiety disorders and the role of agomelatine: implications for clinical practice [PDF]
Melatonin exerts its actions through membrane MT1/MT2 melatonin receptors, which belong to the super family of G-protein-coupled receptors consisting of the typical seven transmembrane domains.

Chronobiology and Mood Disorders [PDF]
Living organizms show cyclic rhythmicity in a variety of physiological, hormonal, behavioral, and psychological processes. Sleep-wake cycles, body temperature, hormone levels, mood and cognition display a circadian rhythm in humans.

Circadian rhythm and neurodegenerative disorders [PDF]
The circadian clock controls daily rhythms in animal physiology, metabolism, and behavior, such as the sleep‐wake cycle. Disruption of circadian rhythms has been revealed in many diseases including neurodegenerative disorders. Interestingly, patients with many neurodegenerative diseases often show problems with circadian clocks even years before other

Altered expression of circadian clock gene, mPer1, in mouse brain and kidney under morphine dependence and withdrawal [PDF]
Every physiological function in the human body exhibits some form of circadian rhythmicity. Under pathological conditions, however, circadian rhythmicity may be dusrupted.
