Diurnal rhythms in gene expression in the prefrontal cortex in schizophrenia

Abstract excerpt

Schizophrenia is associated with disrupted cognitive control and sleep-wake cycles. Here we identify diurnal rhythms in gene expression in the human dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), in schizophrenia and control subjects. We find significant diurnal (24 h) rhythms in control subjects, however, most of these transcripts are not rhythmic in subjects with schizophrenia. Instead, subjects with schizophrenia...
