Sleep deprivation has been associated in many studies with a variety of negative cognitive effects including fatigue, poor decision-making and short-term memory loss. However, a new study in chronobiology, however, has shocked researchers by suggesting that sleep deprivation may actually improve long-term memory. This counter-intuitive effect is due to the effects of a molecule called […]
La privación de sueño se ha asociado en muchos estudios a una serie de efectos cognitivos negativos como la fatiga, la toma de decisiones inadecuadas y la pérdida de memoria a corto plazo. Sin embargo, un nuevo estudio sobre cronobiología ha sorprendido a los investigadores al sugerir que la privación de sueño puede mejorar la […]
The circadian rhythm is a subject of many studies, yet it remains a mystery in many ways. While scientists have identified many of the cell proteins involved in circadian rhythm and several genes that contribute to a healthy rhythm, the “master clock” gene remained elusive. However, a recent chronobiology study on rats indicates that the […]
El ritmo circadiano es objeto de numerosos estudios, pero sigue siendo un misterio en muchos aspectos. Aunque los científicos han identificado muchas de las proteínas celulares que intervienen en el ritmo circadiano y varios genes que contribuyen a un ritmo saludable, el gen del “reloj maestro” seguía siendo esquivo. Sin embargo, un reciente estudio de […]
Cancer research has yielded many new and exciting treatments that improve outcomes by attacking the biochemical processes underlying this serious disease. While melatonin has been used as a treatment for insomnia and other sleep disorders for decades, it may also be a valuable treatment for cancer. New studies suggest that melatonin inhibits tumor growth while […]
