Circadian clocks control physiological processes and behavior in virtually all living organisms. Now an international research team has created a detailed map of the internal clock in the brain of the ...

Brain imaging technologies (e.g., MRI, PET, advanced microscopy) are foundational tools for deciphering the brain's ...

As millions of Americans adjust their clocks for daylight saving time this week, many experience disruptions in their sleep and daily routines – a reminder of the importance of circadian rhythms that ...

The default mode network (DMN) is a set of interconnected brain regions known to be most active when humans are awake but not engaged in physical activities, such as relaxing, resting or daydreaming.

A brain rhythm working in tandem with the body's natural sleep-wake cycle may explain why bipolar patients alternate between mania and depression, according to new research. A new study marks a ...

Disruptions between the brain's master circadian clock and the liver's internal clock, communicated via the hepatic afferent vagal nerve (HVAN), can lead to unhealthy eating patterns and increased ...

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

A new study shows that the timing of the different clocks in our body depends on multiple stimuli. This was investigated in the liver- and muscle clock of rats, where only a combination of eating and ...

Our study also showed that brain clocks can be used to monitor interventions aimed to improve brain health." Dr. Carlos Coronel, first author and Postdoctoral Fellow at the GBHI, Trinity College ...
