Circadian rhythms appeared 2-3 billions years ago Sleep, like ageing17,18, may be an inescapable consequence of aerobic metabolism.

Circadian organization in mammals Hastings et al 2018 Nat Rev Neurosci 19:453-469

The central clock in nucl. suprachiasmaticus (SCN) synchronizes circadian rhythms Control After lesion of the SCN


Page 5

Model for the circadian clock


Page 6

The molecular clock is based on delayed negative feedback


Page 7

The SCN does not keep an exact 24 hour cycle if not entrained ”The third eye” -melanopsin-containing ganglion cells sleep wake


Page 8

SCN signals to the rest of the brain and body both electrically and with hormones Higher frequency of action potentials during the day Homones, for example: Cortisol highest levels when we wake up Melatonin a “dark hormone”, released from corpus pineale Welsh et al (1995) Neuron 14:697

Sleep “Sleep is the readily reversible state of reduced responsiveness to and interaction with the environment”

The ”sleep nucleus” in the hypothalamus (VLPO) inhibits the modulatory transmitter systems using GABA/Galanin Saper et al (2005) Nature 437:1257


Page 15

The cells in LHA and VLPO are under circadian control by the SCN via the DMH in the hypothalamus Saper et al (2005) Nature 437:1257

Adenosine is an ”somnogenic” factor contributing to sleep pressure
