Une équipe de recherche a découvert un lien dans le cerveau de souris entre le rythme circadien et le comportement agressif. Cette découverte est particulièrement intéressante pour les patients atteints du syndrome d’Alzheimer qui manifestent des comportements agressifs la nuit.
A research team including a researcher from the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences has discovered a circuit in the brains of mice connecting circadian rhythm to aggressive behaviour. The discovery is particularly interesting to Alzheimer’s patients who experience increased aggression at night. The researchers have developed special protein tools capable of turning off the cells in the brain causing the behaviour.
