Abstract

Summary

This paper investigates the role of somatostatin (SST) in circadian behavior and the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) circuit across seasonal photoperiods, providing new insights into mechanisms that regulate seasonality and circadian clock function in mammals.

Categories

Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how the SCN, which the study focuses on, regulates cognitive performance.
Hormone regulation: The study investigates the role of the hormone somatostatin (SST) in circadian behavior and the SCN circuit.
Phototherapy: The paper explores how the SCN processes light inputs to adjust the circadian system to the changing environment.
Aging: The paper mentions that sensitivity to seasonal changes often changes across the lifespan, which is relevant to the aging category.
