Emens JS, Burgess H. Effect of Light and Melatonin and Other Melatonin Receptor Agonists on Human Circadian Physiology. Sleep Med Clin. 2015. FREE FULL TEXT ARTICLE
Highlights: Circadian (body clock) timing has a profound influence on mental and physical health. Overview of human circadian system is provided. Important features of light treatment, light avoidance, exogenous melatonin, and receptor agonists are reviewed.
Dayan J, Rauchs G, Guillery-Girard B. Rhythms dysregulation: a new perspective for understanding PTSD? J Physiol Paris 2017
Highlights: Biological dysfunctions may be seen as dysregulation in endocrine rhythm, sleep organization, and synchrony in brain activity. Knowledge of biological rhythms may help explain heterogeneity of PTSD and shed light on association with frequent medical disorders.

Pinho-Riberio FA, Verri WA, Chiu IM. Nociceptor Sensory Neuron-Immune Interactions in Pain and Inflammation. Trends Immunol. 2017. FREE FULL TEXT ARTICLE
COMMENT: Active crosstalk occurs between nociceptor neurons and the immune system to regulate pain, host defense, and inflammatory diseases. Dialog between nociceptor neurons and the immune system is a fundamental aspect of inflammation, both acute and chronic.

Chiu IM, von Hehn CA, Woolf CJ. Neurogenic inflammation and the peripheral nervous system in host defense and immunopathology. Nat Neurosci 2012 FREE FULL TEXT ARTICLE
The line between the peripheral nervous and immune systems is blurred by new insights into neurogenic inflammation. Dense innervation network of sensory and autonomic fibers in peripheral tissues and high speed of neural transduction allows rapid local and systemic neurogenic modulation of immunity.

Hanlon EC, Van Cauter E. Quantification of sleep behavior and of its impact on the cross-talk between the brain and peripheral metabolism. Proc Natl Acad Sci. 2011 FREE FULL TEXT ARTICLE
Sleep restriction impairs glucose metabolism and alters the cross-talk between the periphery and the brain, favoring excessive food intake. A better understanding of the adverse effects of sleep restriction on the CNS control of hunger and appetite may have important implications for public health.
