Resumen:
Most living organisms have a circadian timing system adapted to optimize the daily rhythm of exposure to the environment. This circadian system modulates several behavioral and physiological processes, including the response to natural and non-natural rewards. Food is the most potent natural reward across species. Food-seeking is known to be mediated by dopaminergic and serotonergic transmission in cortico-limbic pathways. In the present review, we revise the evidence that document a circadian modulation of reward related behaviors, with special emphasis in natural rewards. Elucidating the effect of circadian rhythms on motivation behavior may contribute to improve treatment related to psychiatric disorders or drugs of abuse.
