Summary
This paper discusses the use of zebrafish to study the effects of sleep deprivation on the circadian rhythm and its potential implications for neurodegenerative diseases.
Categories
Dementia: The paper discusses the potential of microRNAs as biomarkers for various forms of neurodegenerative diseases including dementia.
Alzheimer's disease: The paper mentions Alzheimer's disease as one of the neurodegenerative diseases that could potentially be diagnosed early through the analysis of microRNAs.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper studies the effects of sleep deprivation on the circadian rhythm using a zebrafish model.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper indirectly discusses cognitive function and memory by mentioning the decline in memory and cognitive abilities as common symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases.
Aging: The paper indirectly discusses aging by studying neurodegenerative diseases, which are often associated with aging.
Shift work: The paper indirectly discusses shift work by mentioning how human circadian rhythm can be altered by working the night shift, which is similar to the altered light patterns the zebrafish were exposed to in the study.
Phototherapy: The paper indirectly discusses phototherapy by mentioning how the suprachiasmatic nucleus controls the homeostasis of the circadian clock by obtaining photic input.
