A team neurobiologists has identified a new gene, called Tango10, that is critical for daily behavioral rhythms. This gene is involved in a molecular pathway by which the core circadian clock (the ...

As the earth spins on its axis, most lifeforms including humans must coordinate their behaviors and internal clocks to adapt to consequent oscillations in light and temperature. Failure to adapt to ...

Researchers report (“Daily electrical activity in the master circadian clock of a diurnal mammal”) in eLife the first-ever recording and modeling of the electrical activity of circadian clock neurons ...

Circadian pacemaker neurons in the Drosophila brain display daily rhythms in the levels of intracellular calcium. These calcium rhythms are driven by molecular clocks and are required for normal ...

During and after chemotherapy, nearly half of cancer patients endure circadian rhythm disruptions, which worsens treatment side effects. Because the body’s primary rhythm pacemaker is in the brain, ...

It's no secret that jet lag and night-shift work can wreak havoc on the way our body's internal clock syncs up our daily wake-sleep cycle, known as circadian rhythm, but now researchers say they are a ...
