TLDR
Together, these studies set the scene for applying the knowledge of circadian biology to the understanding and treatment of a range of human diseases, including cancer and metabolic and behavioural disorders.Abstract:
Circadian cycles affect a variety of physiological processes, and disruptions of normal circadian biology therefore have the potential to influence a range of disease-related pathways. The genetic basis of circadian rhythms is well studied in model organisms and, more recently, studies of the genetic basis of circadian disorders has confirmed the conservation of key players in circadian biology from invertebrates to humans. In addition, important advances have been made in understanding how these molecules influence physiological functions in tissues throughout the body. Together, these studies set the scene for applying our knowledge of circadian biology to the understanding and treatment of a range of human diseases, including cancer and metabolic and behavioural disorders.read more

100 years of Drosophila research and its impact on vertebrate neuroscience: a history lesson for the future
TL;DR: After 100 years, fruit flies continue to be the choice model system for many neuroscientists and the combinational use of powerful research tools will ensure that this model organism will continue to lead to key discoveries that will impact vertebrate neuroscience.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linking neural activity and molecular oscillations in the SCN
TL;DR: Current understanding of the ionic and molecular mechanisms that drive the rhythmic firing patterns in the SCN are reviewed, finding the strongest evidence for persistent Na+ currents.

Tumors of the Central Nervous System
TL;DR: The authors have integrated all of these new findings, as well as classical morphological, clinical, and neuroradiological descriptions and illustrations, into an entirely new and completely up-to-date volume that demystifies the complex subject of CNS tumours and tumour-like lesions for general pathologists.

TL;DR: Type VI 3β-hydroxyl-steroid dehydrogenase (Hsd3b6) is identified as a new hypertension risk factor in mice and placed in a pivotal position through which circadian clock malfunction is coupled to the development of hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circadian misalignment and health
TL;DR: The role of circadian misalignment as a risk factor for disease in the general population and in clinical populations, including circadian rhythm sleep disorders and psychiatric disorders is described.

A self-assessment questionnaire to determine morningness-eveningness in human circadian rhythms.
James Horne,Ostberg O +1 more
TL;DR: Although the questionnaire appears to be valid, further evaluation using a wider subject population is required, as sleep habits are an important déterminant of peak time there are other contibutory factors, and these appear to be partly covered by the questionnaire.

TL;DR: It is suggested that in the clinical setting, actigraphy is reliable for evaluating sleep patterns in patients with insomnia, for studying the effect of treatments designed to improve sleep, in the diagnosis of circadian rhythm disorders (including shift work), and in evaluating sleep in individuals who are less likely to tolerate PSG, such as infants and demented elderly.

Hypothalamic regulation of sleep and circadian rhythms
TL;DR: These findings explain how various drugs affect sleep and wakefulness, and provide the basis for a wide range of environmental influences to shape wake–sleep cycles into the optimal pattern for survival.

TL;DR: Estimation of transcripts encoding selected hypothalamic peptides associated with energy balance was attenuated in the Clock mutant mice, suggesting that the circadian clock gene network plays an important role in mammalian energy balance.

TL;DR: Genetic and genomic analysis suggests that a relatively small number of output genes are directly regulated by core oscillator components, and major processes regulated by the SCN and liver were found to be under circadian regulation.
