EPFL scientists have proven that light intensity influences our cognitive performance and how alert we feel, and that these positive... Read More
Researchers report the discovery of a crucial part of the biological clock: the wiring that sets its accuracy to within a few minutes out of the 1440 minutes per day. The wiring uses GABA to connect the individual cells of the biological clock in a fast network which changes strength with the time of day. Read More
A new study reveals how the production of p75NTR protein oscillates in time with the body's natural circadian rhythm and how these oscillations help regulate vital metabolic functions. The findings offer an insight into how circadian rhythm helps maintain the body's overall metabolic health. Read More
A new study shows sufferers of seasonally affective disorder (SAD), like insomniacs, report sleep patterns incorrectly due to depression. Read More
Researchers report correct coordination between our circadian clock and gut bacteria could be critical for preventing metabolic diseases. Read More
Researchers discover changes in the activity of sodium and potassium channels during the day and night impact the sleep-wake cycle. Read More
A new study reports drinking caffeine during the evening delays the internal body clock by 40 minutes. Read More
A new study sheds light on how the retina sets its own biological rhythm using a novel light-sensitive pigment called neuropsin. Read More
A new study report different groups of neurons program our circadian clocks to orchestrate behavior by sending messages in a unidirectional manner downstream. Read More
