Circadian clocks--from genes to complex behaviour.
Circadian clocks control temporal structure in practically all organisms and on all levels of biology, from gene expression to complex behaviour and cognition. Over the last decades, research has begun to unravel the physiological and, more recently, molecular mechanisms that underlie this endogenous temporal programme. The generation of circadian rhythms can be explained, at the molecular leve...

متن کاملImprinted genes, cognition and behaviour.
The idea that genes can influence behavioural predispositions and their underlying psychological determinants is becoming increasingly tractable. In this article, recent findings are reviewed on a special type of inheritance, related to the transmission of traits via what have been termed 'imprinted' genes. In imprinted genes one allele is silenced according to its parental origin. This results...

Increasing industrialisation, changing social norms, changes in cultural values have created a major burden over the human behavioural adaptive ...
متن کاملEpigenetics, Behaviour, and Health
: The long-term effects of behaviour and environmental exposures, particularly during childhood, on health outcomes are well documented. Particularly thought provoking is the notion that exposures to different social environments have a long-lasting impact on human physical health. However, the mechanisms mediating the effects of the environment are still unclear. In the last decade, the main f...
