Circadian Clock Gene Linked to Drug Addiction
Increasing research has identified a primary circadian clock gene linked to drug addiction. According to scientists, the same gene that governs the body’s many circadian rhythms also plays a key part in regulating the brain’s reward system and could potentially influence the likelihood of addictive behavior.

The study, published in The Lancet Psychiatry, suggests that disruptions to our natural circadian rhythms may lead to cognitive decline and an increased risk for mental health issues such as bipolar and major depressive disorder. Circadian Rhythms and Their Impacts […]
