was the discovery by the team of researchers from the University of Vanderbilt, same saying to his opinion that it can lessen the adverse effects to the health to work in night shifts.
This new revelation about the Reset button ” for the biological clock in the brain could help with the procedure for diseases such as seasonal affective disorder, lessen the effects for people working in shifts at night, as well as the jet lag .
this scientific study was conducted by Vanderbilt University experts, in the State of Tennessee, have tried for years to know how that works, as well as its basic functions, which has the internal biological clock of each person, this in order to be able to control it.

Professor of Biological sciences at Vanderbilt University, Douglas McMahon notified: we have discovered that we can change the rhythms of sleep and wakefulness of an animal by artificially stimulating the neurons in your biological clock master, which is located in an area of the brain called with a laser and fiber optic suprachiasmatic nucleus ” said the director of the study.
On the other hand the magazine Nature Neuroscience ” published in the Edition digita l one of its new articles, where it stated that researchers have found a magic button ” as they call it.
One of the techniques that were used to find this object, was embedded in the DNA of mice a gene that is responsible for the reduction of light sensitive protein. Subsequently through very thin optical fibers which were introduced to the brain directly of the animal, this to dominate the cells with a laser to control or eliminate the different actions undertaken.
Although this invention is already very advanced, it is not yet safe to be able to add this kind of gene to human cells, but it is believed that in the not too distant future can be the introduction of these genes in all kinds of adult organisms, like the flashing cells, to make possible this treatment that will benefit a lot of people around the world.
