Abstract
Circadian rhythm disruption may be linked to numerous neurological conditions.
- Circadian rhythms are biological processes regulated by a molecular clock that aligns with a 24-hour light-dark cycle.
- Disruption of these rhythms can impact cognitive and metabolic functions.
- Core clock feedback loops and regulatory pathways govern the circadian clock's function.
- Synchronization of peripheral tissue clocks to the suprachiasmatic nucleus occurs through neuronal and hormonal pathways.
- Dysregulation of circadian rhythms is associated with various neurological conditions.
- Potential therapeutic treatments targeting circadian mechanisms may help restore rhythms and alleviate neurological symptoms.
