Summary
This paper discusses the role of the RNA-binding protein Fxr1 in regulating core clock genes and its potential relevance to sleep and behavioral alterations observed in several neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper explores the role of the RNA-binding protein Fxr1 in regulating core clock genes, which are crucial for cognitive function and memory.
Mood regulation: The study suggests that Fxr1, which has been associated with mood regulation, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorders, may have an essential role in regulating the circadian behavior in mammals.
Psychiatric Disorders: The paper discusses the potential relevance of Fxr1 in sleep and behavioral alterations observed in several neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Sleep and insomnia: The study suggests that Fxr1 may have a role in sleep regulation, as disruptions in circadian rhythm and sleep problems are known to occur in neurological and psychiatric disorders associated with Fxr1.
