CIRCADIAN RHYTMICITY AND DEPRESSION
BACKGROUND Depression is the most common psychiatric syndrome treated on the primary level. Abnormal patterns of circadian rhythms are associated with a large variety of affective disorders including depression.

Circadian clock network desynchrony promotes weight gain and alters glucose homeostasis in mice
Objective: A network of endogenous circadian clocks adapts physiology and behavior to recurring changes in environmental demands across the 24-hour day cycle. Circadian disruption promotes weight gain and type 2 diabetes development.

Asynchronous Rhythm of Steroidogenic Factor 1 and Period Homolog 2 mRNA Expression in Mouse Y1 Adrenocorticol Tumor Cells [PDF]
The relationship between the expression of Steroidogenic factor 1 (Sf1) and the circadian-related gene, period homolog 2 (Per2), in the adrenal cortex is still unknown.

Distribution of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) immunoreactivity in the brain of the teleost cyprinus carpio [PDF]
Cholinergic systems play a role in basic cerebral functions and its dysfunction is associated with deficit in neurodegenerative disease. Mechanisms involved in human brain diseases, are often approached by using fish models, especially cyprinids, given ...

Synchronization-induced rhythmicity of circadian oscillators in the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
The suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) host a robust, self-sustained circadian pacemaker that coordinates physiological rhythms with the daily changes in the environment.

Viral Vector-based Improvement of Optic Nerve Regeneration: Characterization of Individual Axons\u27 Growth Patterns and Synaptogenesis in a Visual Target [PDF]
Lack of axon growth ability in the central nervous system poses a major barrier to achieving functional connectivity after injury. Thus, a non-transgenic regenerative approach to reinnervating targets has important implications in clinical and research ...
