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 …

The mammalian circadian clock regulates day–night fluctuations in various physiological
processes. The circadian clock consists of the central clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus …

This mini-review article presents the remarkable progress that has been made in the past
decade in our understanding of the neural circuitry underlying the regulation of sleep-wake …

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 …

The human sleep-wake cycle is generated by a circadian process, originating from the
suprachiasmatic nuclei, in interaction with a separate oscillatory process: the sleep …

Sleep is controlled by two processes: a homeostatic drive that increases during waking and
dissipates during sleep, and a circadian pacemaker that controls its timing. Although these …

While light is considered the dominant stimulus for entraining (synchronizing) mammalian
circadian rhythms to local environmental time, social stimuli are also widely cited as …

The primary mammalian circadian clock resides in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), a
recipient of dense retinohypothalamic innervation. In its most basic form, the circadian …

In this review, we present evidence from human and animal studies to evaluate the
hypothesis that sleep and circadian rhythms have direct impacts on energy metabolism, and …

To examine the immediate phase-shifting effects of high-intensity exercise of a practical
duration (1 h) on human circadian phase, five groups of healthy men 20–30 yr of age …
