Peripheral clocks: keeping up with the master clock.
Circadian clocks influence most aspects of physiology and behavior, so perhaps it is not surprising that circadian oscillators exist in nearly all mammalian cells. These cells remain synchronized to the outside world in hierarchical fashion, with a "master clock" tissue in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus receiving light input from the retina and then conveying timing information...
متن کاملDo Caucasian and Asian clocks tick differently?
The Period 3 and Clock genes are important components of the mammalian molecular circadian system. Studies have shown association between polymorphisms in these clock genes and circadian phenotypes in different populations. Nevertheless, differences in the pattern of allele frequency and genotyping distribution are systematically observed in studies with different ethnic groups. To investigate ...
متن کاملCircadian molecular clocks tick along ontogenesis.
The circadian system controls the timing of behavioral and physiological functions in most organisms studied. The review addresses the question of when and how the molecular clockwork underlying circadian oscillations within the central circadian clock in the suprachiasmatic nuclei of the hypothalamus (SCN) and the peripheral circadian clocks develops during ontogenesis. The current model of th...
متن کاملDistributed Timed Automata with Independently Evolving Clocks
We propose a model of distributed timed systems where each component is a timed automaton with a set of local clocks that evolve at a rate independent of the clocks of the other components. A clock can be read by any component in the system, but it can only be reset by the automaton it belongs to. There are two natural semantics for such systems. The universal semantics captures behaviors that ...
متن کاملSynchronization of the mammalian circadian timing system: Light can control peripheral clocks independently of the SCN clock
A vast network of cellular circadian clocks regulates 24-hour rhythms of behavior and physiology in mammals. Complex environments are characterized by multiple, and often conflicting time signals demanding flexible mechanisms of adaptation of endogenous rhythms to external time. Traditionally this process of circadian entrainment has been conceptualized in a hierarchical scheme with a light-res...
