Summary
This paper discusses the role of the circadian system in mammals, focusing on the genetic factors that may contribute to the dysfunction of the circadian system, including sex, alterations in vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) signaling, and the Huntington’s disease (HD) causing mutation.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how the circadian system, which regulates the temporal patterning of biological function, can be disrupted by genetic factors, leading to behavioral and physiological rhythm disruptions.
Aging: The paper discusses how genetic factors, including the Huntington’s disease (HD) causing mutation, can disrupt the circadian system, leading to behavioral and physiological rhythm disruptions.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses how alterations in vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) signaling can disrupt the circadian system, leading to behavioral and physiological rhythm disruptions.
Well-being: The paper discusses how the circadian system, which regulates the temporal patterning of biological function, is essential for health and well-being.
