Endogenous biological clocks, orchestrated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus, time the
circadian rhythms that synchronize physiological and behavioural functions in humans. The …

Feeding, which is essential for all animals, is regulated by homeostatic mechanisms. In
addition, food consumption is temporally coordinated by the brain over the circadian (~ 24 h) …

The mammalian circadian clock has evolved as an adaptation to the 24-h light/darkness
cycle on earth. Maintaining cellular activities in synchrony with the activities of the organism …

The circadian rhythm is crucial for physiological and behavioral functions. Chronotype,
which represents individual preferences for activity and performance, is associated with …

Various lifestyle and environmental factors are known to influence sleep. Increasingly,
evidence points to a role for the microbiota in regulating brain and behaviour. This article …

It has been established that 4.4 to 20% of the general population suffers from a major
depressive disorder (MDD), which is frequently associated with a dysregulation of normal …

Circadian rhythms (CR) are a series of endogenous autonomous oscillators generated by
the molecular circadian clock which acting on coordinating internal time with the external …

Circadian rhythms, which have long been known to play crucial roles in physiology, are
emerging as important regulators of specific immune functions. Circadian oscillations of …

The mammalian circadian system, which is comprised of multiple cellular clocks located in
the organs and tissues, orchestrates their regulation in a hierarchical manner throughout the …

Most organisms display endogenously produced∼ 24-hour fluctuations in physiology and
behavior, termed circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are driven by a transcriptional …
