The Role of Mammalian Glial Cells in Circadian Rhythm Regulation
Neural Plasticity, 2017 Circadian rhythms are biological oscillations with a period of about 24 hours. These rhythms are maintained by an innate genetically determined time-keeping system called the circadian clock.

Loss of dopamine disrupts circadian rhythms in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease
Neurobiology of Disease, 2014 Although a wide range of physiological functions regulated by dopamine (DA) display circadian variations, the role of DA in the generation and/or modulation of these rhythms is unknown.

The Human Suprachiasmatic Nucleus
, 2008 In mammals, the controlling clock component that generates a 24-hour rhythm is the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), located in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus.

Nature Communications, 2019 The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) synchronises daily rhythms of behaviour and physiology to the light-dark cycle. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is important for mediating SCN entrainment; however, the underlying mechanisms are incompletely ...

Circadian clock network desynchrony promotes weight gain and alters glucose homeostasis in mice
Molecular Metabolism, 2019 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.

Synchronization-induced rhythmicity of circadian oscillators in the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2007 The suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) host a robust, self-sustained circadian pacemaker that coordinates physiological rhythms with the daily changes in the environment.

Alpha-synuclein expression in oxytocin neurons of young and old bovine brains
The Journal of Reproduction and DevelopmentUnderstanding of central nervous system mechanisms underlying age-related infertility remains limited. Fibril α-synuclein, distinct from its monomeric form, is implicated in age-related diseases. Notably, fibril α-synuclein spreads among neurons,
