Deficits in light input to the circadian system in mouse models of neurological disease
Summary:
This paper investigates the presence of deficits in the light input pathway to the circadian system in Huntington’s Disease (HD) and Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) mouse models.
Categories
- Dementia: The paper discusses the impact of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's on the circadian system and light input pathway.
- Alzheimer's disease: The paper discusses the degeneration of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in Alzheimer's patients and its potential contribution to circadian dysfunction.
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of the circadian system and light input pathway in cognitive function, which can be impacted by neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Huntington's.
- Aging: The paper discusses age-related changes in the circadian system and light input pathway, including in the context of neurodegenerative diseases.
- Psychiatric Disorders: The paper discusses the impact of neurodevelopmental disorders like Fragile X Syndrome on the circadian system and light input pathway.
