Abstract excerpt
Disrupted circadian rhythms are a core feature of mood and anxiety disorders. Circadian rhythms are coordinated by a light-entrainable master clock located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus.

Interestingly, the changes in circadian rhythms correlate with mood-related behaviours. Although animal...
