Rising star of brain found to regulate circadian rhythms

sciencedaily.com

The circadian system that controls sleep patterns is regulated by glial brain cells called astrocytes, according to a new study. Neuroscientists found that disruption of astrocyte function in fruit flies led to altered daily rhythms, an indication that these cells contribute to the control of circadian behavior. These results provide, for the first time, a tractable genetic model to study the role of astrocytes in circadian rhythms and sleep disorders.

Astrocytes regulate circadian system that controls normal sleep patterns

news-medical.net — “The circadian system that controls normal sleep patterns is regulated by a group of glial brain cells called astrocytes, according to a study published online on April 14th in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication. Neuroscientists from Tufts University School of Medicine found that disruption of astrocyte function in fruit flies ( Drosophila) led to altered daily rhythms, an indication that these star-shaped glial cells contribute to the control of circadian behavior.View full resource at news-medical.net
