Summary
Scientists have the technology to see how circadian rhythms oscillate at a molecular level based on behavior and time of day in both mice and people. The work of the clock genes is activating or deactivating thousands of other non-clock genes in consistent daily patterns which could help us understand depression and the role of sleep.
