Circadian clocks, brain function, and development.
Circadian clocks are temporal interfaces that organize biological systems and behavior to dynamic external environments. Components of the molecular clock are expressed throughout the brain and are centrally poised to play an important role in brain function. This paper focuses on key issues concerning the relationship among circadian clocks, brain function, and development, and discusses three...
متن کاملCircadian clocks and vascular function.
The circadian clock regulates many aspects of physiology, including cardiovascular function. Internal oscillators exist in endothelial, smooth muscle cells, and fibroblasts of the vasculature. Vascular tone and thrombus formation, 2 key elements of vascular function with regard to adverse cardiovascular events, exhibit diurnal rhythmicity. In this review, we describe changes in vascular functio...

The circadian clock is an evolutionarily conserved time-keeping system that coordinates the physiology of the organism with daily changes in the environment. A growing body of evidence gradually leads to the conception that virtually all aspects of the biochemical, physiological, and behavioral functions of the animal are linked to circadian regulation. Moreover, proper synchronization of vario...
متن کاملCircadian Biology: Clocks within Clocks
A small cluster of approximately 20,000 neurons in the ventral hypothalamus provide the body with key time-keeping signals and drive circadian rhythms. This circadian clock exhibits surprisingly complex substructures, with inputs from the retina, and outputs to other brain structures. Rather little is known of the neurotransmitters involved, or their regulation.
متن کاملCircadian clocks
The biological world is not static: organisms inhabit environments which change predictably over the course of the day and night. There will therefore be selective advantage to any individuals able to anticipate these changes and attune their physiology and behaviour accordingly. Anticipation of daily cycles is conferred by endogenous timers, biological clocks with an intrinsic period of approx...
