Sleep, circadian rhythms, and mental health are reciprocally interlinked. Disruption to the
quality, continuity, and timing of sleep can precipitate or exacerbate psychiatric symptoms in …

Hundreds of studies have found that weak magnetic fields can significantly influence various
biological systems. However, the underlying mechanisms behind these phenomena remain …

The importance of time is ever prevalent in our world, and disruptions to the normal
light/dark and sleep/wake cycle have now become the norm rather than the exception for a …

Circadian clocks are biological timing mechanisms that generate 24-h rhythms of physiology
and behavior, exemplified by cycles of sleep/wake, hormone release, and metabolism. The …

Aim Symptoms of bipolar disorder (BD) include changes in mood, activity, energy, sleep,
and appetite. Since many of these processes are regulated by circadian function, circadian …

Mood disorders account for a significant global disease burden, and pharmacological
innovation is needed as existing medications are suboptimal. A wide range of evidence …

The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) coronavirus, is a global health issue with unprecedented …

Lithium is an effective mood stabilizer, but the mechanism of its therapeutic action is not well
understood. We investigated the effect of lithium on the circadian clock located in the …

Bipolar disorder (BD) is characterized by disrupted circadian rhythms affecting sleep,
arousal, and mood. Lithium is among the most effective mood stabilizer treatments for BD …

In animals, circadian clocks impose a daily rhythmicity to many behaviors and physiological
