Nevertheless, in contrast to human-made timing devices, it is clear that the biological solutions to telling time are fundamentally different across different timescales. The fact that there are ...

npj Biological Timing and Sleep is an open access journal: authors pay an article processing charge (APC) for their final published article to be open access online and freely accessible online.

Biological rhythms (e.g., circadian and circannual rhythms) are ubiquitous in nature and help organisms perform the right activity at the right time—this includes the timing of many sexual signals and ...

The "biological clock" has far more settings than most people realize ... She is now working with colleagues in the Department of Psychiatry to test a drug that could help reset sleep timing in ...

Currently available data on the maturity status and timing of youth athletes are subsequently summarised ... Talent development from novice to elite is superimposed on a constantly changing base—the ...

The study was part of the Ueda Biological Timing Project, a research area of the Exploratory Research for Advanced Technology (ERATO) by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). Under this ...

Discover the Section of Chronobiology, which is devoted to the study of all aspects of biological timing (ultradian, circadian and seasonal rhythms) in a range of models, particularly humans.

The circadian clock is a biological timing mechanism that allows organisms to align their physiology with the external daily environment. 24h rhythms are generated within every cell by a ...

These genetic findings could also shed light on the other end of reproductive life: menopause. Puberty timing and menopause are correlated, and the current study showed that they share genetic drivers ...

Abstract: Identifying, formalizing, and combining biological mechanisms that implement known brain functions, such as prediction, is a main aspect of research in theoretical neuroscience. In this ...
