The team focused their research on KaiC, the clock protein that regulates the circadian rhythm in cyanobacteria, a type of bacteria lives in all types of water and are often found in blue-green algae (Figure 1, left panel). These biological clocks in organisms are composed of proteins...
Non-24 is a circadian rhythm disorder. Your circadian rhythms are controlled by your master body clock and tell you when to sleep, when to wake, when to eat, among other things.In most people, the master body clock runs slightly longer than 24 hours. What this means is that rather than...
Circadian rhythms work through genetic feedback loops. The researchers found that the TIM protein works together with its partner, the period (PER) protein, to inhibit the genes responsible for their own production. With appropriate delays between the events ofgene expressiona...
We can "know" good data as true, but we cannot accept as fact interpretations of those data.Example: the assumption that both NREM and REM sleep are functional responses to prior wake,And, their cycling is controlled by a fixed period oscillator.Further research shows NREM and REM sleep are...
Overall, the hormo- nal changes induced by sleep deprivation can make sus- taining a restricted-energy diet challenging, leading to increased hunger levels and potentially hindering weight loss efforts. 2. Circadian misalignment—sleep and meals Circadian rhythms, regulated by a central clock and ...
Fifteen years ago, an odd mutant fruit fly caught the attention and curiosity of Dr. Ravi Allada, a circadian rhythms expert at Northwestern University, leading the neuroscientist to recently discover how an animal's biological clock wakes it up in the m
What is circadian rhythm? What is phase shift and circadian rhythm? What is the environmental cue for entrainment of circadian rhythms? What is commonly known as ' the biological clock'? What is the biological process that leads to you falling asleep involunt...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia, results in a sustained decline in cognition. There are currently few effective disease modifying therapies for AD, but insights into the mechanisms that mediate the onset and progression of di
Circadian rhythms are 24-hour cycles affecting biological processes, while diurnal refers to daily activity patterns, especially daylight activity.
