Sleep disorders are the consequence of misalignments between the endogenous circadian clock and the external environment. Many of the mutations and polymorphisms associated with circadian rhythms ...

Circadian clocks are cell autonomous and these cellular clocks are located in SCN neurons as well as in almost every cell in the body. The molecular mechanism of circadian clocks in mammals ...

The signals appear at appropriate times, thanks to the circadian clock. Using rhythmic environmental cues such as light, the circadian clock sets up a 24-hour internal oscillation that is replicated ...

The clock change affects our brains and circadian rhythms, leading to sleep disturbances and mood shifts. Neuroscientists weigh in on what can be done. 6 Ways to Improve Your Sleep Without Medication ...

With a sustained block of the SNS, the researchers observed loss of the day-night rhythm in sinus node pacemaking and in pacemaking ion channels. Surprisingly, the heart’s local circadian clock ...

You’re not the only one to have them It’s thought any life form that derives energy from sunlight has some kind of circadian rhythm ... your body clock would become out of step with the ...

The circadian clock plays a key role in coordinating many biological processes from behaviors to cellular metabolism and mitosis. Disruption of circadian rhythms can increase susceptibility to ...

Your circadian rhythm is your body’s internal clock. Light, sleep patterns, hormones, meals, and temperature can all influence your circadian rhythm, which in turn can influence your overall health.

“The circadian rhythm is generated by the master clock in the brain, an area of 50,000 cells near the hypothalamus [the hormonal control centre of the brain],” says Dr Kat Lederle, founder of ...
