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…
