Adenosine integrates light and sleep signalling for the regulation of circadian timing in mice

Adenosine integrates light and sleep signalling for the regulation of circadian timing in mice

Sleep pressure and circadian rhythms influence one another. However, the regulatory mechanisms are unclear. Here, the authors show that adenosine A1/A2A receptor antagonists, such as caffeine, shift circadian rhythms and enhance the effects of light, providing a molecular link between sleep pressure...
