The recently uncovered key role of the peripheral and central nervous systems in controlling
tumorigenesis and metastasis has opened a new area of research to identify innovative …

The primary mammalian circadian clock resides in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), a
recipient of dense retinohypothalamic innervation. In its most basic form, the circadian …

Circadian rhythms influence most of our life activities, notably getting up and going to sleep
every day. The new edition of this book delves into the mechanisms surrounding how these …

The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), the site of the primary mammalian circadian clock,

Introduction: Disruptions in sleep and circadian rhythms are observed in individuals with
bipolar disorders (BD), both during acute mood episodes and remission. Such abnormalities …

The daily sleep–wake cycle is perhaps the most dramatic overt manifestation of the
circadian timing system, and this is especially true for the monophasic sleep–wake cycle of …

There has been extensive research in the recent past looking into the molecular basis and
mechanisms of the biological clock, situated in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the …

There is a clear link between altered circadian rhythms and depressive disorders, although
the nature of this relationship is unknown. In addition, exercise affects both mood and alters …

Endogenous depression is often accompanied by alterations in core parameters of circadian
rhythms, and antidepressant treatments, including serotonergic drugs, sleep deprivation and …
