Dopamine Circuit Links Circadian Rhythms to Wakefulness
Original: Dopamine Circuit Connects Circadian Rhythms With Wakefulness
Researchers report that a dopamine circuit connects the body's circadian rhythms with wakefulness, offering a mechanistic link between the internal biological clock and the brain systems that control arousal. The finding could help explain why sleep-wake timing is so tightly tied to daily cycles and may inform future approaches to sleep and circadian-related disorders.
Why now: New research describing a brain mechanism linking the biological clock to wakefulness is drawing attention from readers interested in sleep science and neuroscience.
