The mechanisms by which animals adapt to an ever‐changing environment have long
fascinated scientists. Different forces, conveying information regarding various aspects of the …

Circadian rhythms act to optimise many aspects of our biology and thereby ensure that
physiological processes are occurring at the most appropriate time. The importance of this …

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 …

Increases in arousal and activity in anticipation of a meal, termed “food anticipatory
activity”(FAA), depend on circadian food-entrainable oscillators (FEOs), whose locations and …

In order to assess the contribution of a central clock in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic
nucleus (SCN) to circadian behavior and the organization of peripheral clocks, we …

Salient cues, such as the rising sun or availability of food, entrain biological clocks for
behavioral adaptation. The mechanisms underlying entrainment to food availability remain …

Most organisms evolved endogenous, so called circadian clocks as internal timekeeping
mechanisms allowing them to adapt to recurring changes in environmental demands …

Food anticipatory behavior (FAA) is induced by limiting access to food for a few hours daily.
Animals anticipate this scheduled meal event even without the suprachiasmatic nucleus …

Circadian rhythms controlled by clock genes affect plasma lipids. Here we show that global
ablation of Bmal1 in Apoe−/− and Ldlr−/− mice and its liver-specific ablation in Apoe−/−(L …

Scientists, public health and school officials are paying growing attention to the mechanism
underlying the delayed sleep patterns common in human adolescents. Data suggest that a …
