Description:Melatonin is a neurotransmitter produced by the pineal gland that is involved in the regulation of sleep-wake cycles. It can be used to treat several conditions like shift work disorders, insomnia, jet lag, and alterations of the circadian rhythm. Some authors also proposed the use of melatonin against cognitive disorders. In an interesting research conducted on zebrafish, it was found that memory formation occurs better during daytime compared to nighttime, suggesting a role of melatonin in this process. When melatonin was administered during the daytime it caused reduced memory formation. On the contrary, removing the pineal gland or treating the fish with a melatonin antagonist significantly improves nighttime memory formation.
