Scientists have discovered mechanisms that include the "seasonal" clock in the body. However, while these mechanisms are found in the body of the sheep, however, according to scientists who published the results of their research in the journal Current Biology, their discovery will play an important role in understanding why some people in winter gain weight and suffer from depression.

Scientists have found out that the duration of a daylight affects the way that genes interact with each other, which in turn causes changes in the cells of the brain.

Seasonal watches both in humans and animals affect the mood, appetite and energy production in the body.

People with mental or physical disabilities due to the change of the season can be placed in special light chambers to treat with high doses of light that mimic a bright spring or summer morning, scientists emphasize..

Science already knew that there are genes in the body that act as biological clocks, and when they turn on and off, it determines when we wake up and when we are hungry.

Now the staff of the Medical Research Council and the University of Aberdeen managed to trace the causes of seasonal disorders down to the molecular level. It turned out that the time and duration of the interaction of the chronometer genes varies depending on the duration of the light and dark time of the day medicus. En.
