Blast Exposure Dysregulates Nighttime Melatonin Synthesis and Signaling in the Pineal Gland: A Potential Mechanism of Blast-Induced Sleep Disruptions
Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) frequently results in sleep-wake disturbances.However, limited studies have investigated the molecular signaling mechanisms underlying these sleep disturbances, and potentially efficacious therapies are lacking.We investigated the levels of melatonin and genes involved in melatonin synthesis pathway in th
