The Circadian Clock, the Brain, and COVID-19: The Cases of Olfaction and the Timing of Sleep

Abstract Daily rhythms of behavior and neurophysiology are integral to the circadian clocks of all animals. Examples of circadian clock regulation in the human brain include daily rhythms in sleep-wake, cognitive function, olfactory sensitivity, and risk for ischemic stroke, all of which overlap with symptoms displayed by many COVID-19 patients. Motivated by the relatively unexplored, […]

Developmental chronodisruption alters placental signaling in mice

Clarkson-Townsend DA, Bales KL, Hermetz KE, et al. Developmental chronodisruption alters placental signaling in mice. Plos one. 2021 ;16(8):e0255296. DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0255296. PMID: 34370755; PMCID: PMC8351967. Abstract Chronodisruption has been largely overlooked as a developmental exposure. The placenta, a conduit between the maternal and fetal environments, may relay circadian cues to the fetus. We have previously […]

It must, in particular, (i) provide a reasoned explanation for […]

A nifty study showing that pesticides + EMF are more unhealthy for the bees than pesticides alone…
