Impact of age on the circadian visual system and the sleep-wake cycle in mus musculus

Abstract Age plays a critical role in disease development and tolerance to cancer treatment, often leading to an increased risk of developing negative symptoms including sleep disturbances. Circadian rhythms and sleep become disrupted as organisms age. In this study, we explored the behavioral alter...
