Abstract excerpt
Biological rhythms govern the ebb and flow of life on planet Earth. Animals have an internal timekeeping mechanism that precisely regulates 24-hour rhythms of body function and behavior and synchronizes them to the day/night cycle. Circadian pacemakers trigger behavioral and physiological processes that dictate our daily rhythms. Despite the importance of the circadian clock to all aspects of our physiology and...
