Circadian rest-activity rhythms predict cognitive function in early Parkinson's disease independently of sleep [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Cognitive impairment is a common and debilitating symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), and its etiology is likely multifactorial. One candidate mechanism is circadian disruption. Although there is evidence of circadian abnormalities in PD, no

The role of circadian rhythm and its new strategies for prevention and treatment in oral diseases [PDF]
Circadian rhythm is a biological endogenous process regulated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus, which transmits light signals to peripheral clocks and synchronizes the body with the external environment through balanced expression of ...
