Neuropeptides modulate neural circuits controlling adaptive animal behaviors and
physiological processes, such as feeding/metabolism, reproductive behaviors, circadian …

Biological pacemakers dictate our daily schedules in physiology and behaviour. The
molecules, cells and networks that underlie these circadian rhythms can now be monitored …

Covalent modification of histones is important in regulating chromatin dynamics and
transcription,. One example of such modification is ubiquitination, which mainly occurs on …

Daily rhythms of physiology and behaviour are precisely timed by an endogenous circadian
clock,. These include separate bouts of morning and evening activity, characteristic of …

In Drosophila, a 'clock'situated in the brain controls circadian rhythms of locomotor activity.
This clock relies on several groups of neurons that express the Period (PER) protein …

Circadian rhythms influence most of our life activities, notably getting up and going to sleep
every day. The new edition of this book delves into the mechanisms surrounding how these …

In Drosophila, molecular clocks control circadian rhythmic behavior through a network of~
150 pacemaker neurons. To explain how the network's neuronal properties encode time, we …

Nowadays humans mainly rely on external, unnatural clocks such as of cell phones and
alarm clocks–driven by circuit boards and electricity. Nevertheless, our body is under the …

Coupling of autonomous cellular oscillators is an essential aspect of circadian clock function
but little is known about its circuit requirements. Functional ablation of the pigment …

Molecular genetics has revealed the identities of several components of the fundamental
circadian molecular oscillator—an evolutionarily conserved molecular mechanism of …
