Dim light at night induces depression-like behaviors during the postpartum period through circadian rhythm related pathways in mice
This RNA sequencing data comes from a study named 'Dim light at night induces depression - like behaviors during the postpartum period through circadian rhythm related pathways in mice'. The study aimed to look into the effect of dim light exposure at night on postpartum mice. We guessed that such light conditions could mess up the circadian rhythm and cause depression - like behaviors.RNA was taken from relevant brain areas of the experimental and control group mice. The RNA - seq data shown here gives useful information about the gene expression changes linked to circadian rhythm - related pathways during the postpartum period when mice are exposed to dim light at night. It might help us understand the molecular mechanisms behind the development of postpartum - related mood disorders and could potentially help develop new preventive and treatment strategies.
