In humans, an adaptable internal biological system generates circadian rhythms that
maintain synchronicity of behavior and physiology with the changing demands of the 24-h …

The use of actigraphs, or ambulatory devices that estimate sleep–wake patterns from activity
levels, has become common in pediatric research. Actigraphy provides a more objective …

Sleep, much like eating, is an essential part of life. The mechanisms of sleep are only
partially clear and are the subject of intense research. There is increasing evidence showing …

Early nutrition has an enormous influence on a child's physiological function, immune
system maturation, and cognitive development. Human breast milk (HBM) is recognized as …

Melatonin and serotonin rhythms, which exhibit a close association with the endogenous
circadian component of sleep, are attenuated with increasing age. This decrease seems to …

During pregnancy the human fetus receives timed cues from the circadian rhythms of
temperature, metabolites, and hormones from the mother. This influence is interrupted after …

Human biology follows recurring daily rhythms that are governed by circadian cues in the
environment. Here we show that human milk is a powerful form of “chrononutrition,” …

Simple Summary The circadian clock is a prominent regulator of physiology. Most studies so
far have investigated its role in health and disease in adult subjects and animals. However …

The microbes that colonize the small and large intestines, known as the gut microbiome,
play an integral role in optimal brain development and function. The gut microbiome is a vital …

Introduction The hop (Humulus lupulus L.), a component of beer, is a sedative plant whose
pharmacological activity is principally due to its bitter resins, in particular to the α-acid …
