The mammalian circadian clock: a network of gene expression.

Abstract excerpt

The circadian timing system provides a temporal structure across an organism to modulate and synchronize biological function. The mammalian circadian system is composed of many individual clocks. Circadian clocks are found in individual cells that have to be synchronized by a central pacemaker. This pacemaker can be viewed as a managing director who coordinates temporal physiology and behavior in the organism. In...
