Clock genes, which are essential for suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) function,also play critical roles in other brain regions, and their expression have been thesubject of various studies. An increasingly deeper understanding of the expressionof these genes in different species contributes to our knowledge of their functionsand the factors influencing their expression. Considering that most…
Melatonin is a transducer of photic environmental information and participates in the synchronization of various physiological and behavioral phenomena. Melatonin can act directly in several areas of the central nervous system through its membrane receptors coupled to G protein, called MT1 and MT2 receptors. In some structures, such as the retina, hypothalamus and pars tuberalis, the expr…
The presence of phylogenetically preserved neural networks influenced by circadian oscillations in the brain represents an essential functional characteristic of mammals. The circadian information generated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus, through a feedback loop of expression of called clock genes, modulates rhythmic behaviors through local neural circuits and broad endogenous actions. …
The circadian rhythms are characterized by the manifestation in a cycle of 24 hours, such as the physiological rhythms of body temperature, hormones secretation, eating behavior, sleep-wake cycles, activity and relaxation, and performance rhythms in memory, sensory and motor perceptions. The hypothalamic's suprachiasmatic nucleus is considered the endogenous circadian oscillator responsib…
The hormone melatonin, a transducer of environmental photic information, participates in the synchronization of several physiological and behavioral phenomena as a cronobiotic agent. The expression of its receptors MT1 and MT2 have already been demonstrated in structures, which this molecule participates in mechanisms involved in brain functions, immune response and metabolism both in end…
