Circadian clocks control physiological processes and behavior in virtually all living organisms. Now an international research team has created a detailed map of the internal clock in the brain of the ...

It’s not just your imagination — as winter approaches, and the days grow shorter, our bodies are undergoing their own changes. The reason? Shifting circadian rhythms thanks to decreased exposure to ...

A new study has made the case for synching your daily calories with your own circadian rhythm to improve glucose metabolism, protecting against type 2 diabetes and obesity. Until now, the relationship ...

New research shows that glioblastoma has an internal clock and syncs its daily rhythms to match -- and take advantage of -- the rhythms of its host. In this way, brain tumors grow in response to the ...

Plants don't just respond to light and water, they also run on an internal daily timekeeper known as the circadian clock. Researchers have now discovered that the plant circadian clock can regulate ...

Until now, the specific neurobiology of how our circadian clocks keep track of the seasons has been a mystery. Recently, researchers led by Toru Takumi at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan ...

Early mammalian ancestors were nocturnal, sleeping during the day while the dinosaurs dominated the land. However, some mammalian lineages, including human ancestors, independently transitioned to ...

The circadian clock of the fly's remaining 236 clock neurons was genetically "silenced," meaning that they no longer had a functioning molecular clock. The result was astonishing: "These four neurons ...
