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 documents 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.
