Roles of Atypical Opsins in Metabolism and Seasonal Transitions
Summary:
This paper discusses the role of atypical opsins in metabolism and seasonal transitions, focusing on their roles in the mouse nervous system and in long-term seasonal transitions in Syrian hamsters.
Categories
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of opsins in the mouse nervous system, which is relevant to cognitive function and memory.
- Seasonal affective disorder: The paper explores the role of opsins in long-term seasonal transitions in Syrian hamsters, which is relevant to understanding seasonal affective disorder.
- Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of opsins in hormone regulation, as they are involved in the regulation of metabolism.
