Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome (WPWS) is a disorder due to a specific type of problem with the electrical system of the heart involving an accessory pathway able to conduct electrical current between the atria and the ventricles, thus bypassing the atrioventricular node.
Phase response curves for light and for melatonin administration. In humans and animals, there is a regulatory system that governs the phase relationship of an organism's internal circadian clock to a regular periodicity in the external environment (usually governed by the solar day).
Blue light exposure, particularly in the evening or at night, suppresses the production and release of melatonin. When light stimulates and activates the SCN, [21] the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus receives more signals from a neurotransmitter called GABA. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that aids in controlling ...
Per3 knockout mice experience a slightly shortened period of locomotor activity (by 0.5 hr [13]) and are less sensitive to light, in that they entrain more slowly to changes in the light-dark cycle. PER3 may be involved in the suppression of behavioral activity in response to light, although mPer3 expression is not necessary for circadian rhythms.
Atlanta-based rapper DreTL won season 2 of Rhythm + Flow and took home the $250,000 prize. In a December 2024 interview with Tudum, he said that his biggest moment on the show wasn’t winning but ...
Michael Brewer, one-half of the folk-rock duo Brewer & Shipley, has died. He was 80. On Tuesday, Dec. 17, Brewer's musical partner, Tom Shipley, confirmed the news of his death in a Facebook post ...
The light-dark cycle is the most important environmental time cue for entraining circadian rhythms of most species, including humans, and bright artificial light exposure has been developed as a method to improve circadian adaptation in night workers. The timing of bright light exposure is critical for its phase shifting effects.
A record number of U.S. CEOs exited their jobs this year, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas, which said companies are responding to an uncertain landscape by installing temporary leaders ...
