Dopamine Circuit Links Circadian Rhythms to Wakefulness

Original: Dopamine Circuit Connects Circadian Rhythms With Wakefulness

Researchers have identified a dopamine circuit that connects the body's circadian rhythms with wakefulness, offering a biological explanation for how internal clocks influence states of alertness. The finding could inform future approaches to sleep disorders, shift work fatigue and jet lag.

Why now: New neuroscience research sheds light on how sleep-wake cycles are regulated, a topic of broad health interest.
