Socially synchronized circadian oscillators.
Daily rhythms of physiology and behaviour are governed by an endogenous timekeeping mechanism (a circadian 'clock'). The alternation of environmental light and darkness synchronizes (entrains) these rhythms to the natural day-night cycle, and underlying mechanisms have been investigated using singly housed animals in the laboratory. But, most species ordinarily would not live out their lives in...
متن کاملIntercellular coupling mechanism for synchronized and noise-resistant circadian oscillators.
The circadian clock in multicellular organisms consists of multiple autonomous single-cell oscillators. These individual oscillator cells produce coherent oscillations even in the presence of internal noise associated with rhythm-generating reaction rates and in the absence of external time cues such as light and temperature. Thus, an intercellular coupling mechanism must synchronize the cells ...
متن کاملCircadian oscillators in eukaryotes.
The biological clock, present in nearly all eukaryotes, has evolved such that organisms can adapt to our planet's rotation in order to anticipate the coming day or night as well as unfavorable seasons. As all modern high-precision chronometers, the biological clock uses oscillation as a timekeeping element. In this review, we describe briefly the discovery, historical development, and general p...
متن کاملDesynchronization of stochastically synchronized chemical oscillators.
Experimental and theoretical studies are presented on the design of perturbations that enhance desynchronization in populations of oscillators that are synchronized by periodic entrainment. A phase reduction approach is used to determine optimal perturbation timing based upon experimentally measured phase response curves. The effectiveness of the perturbation waveforms is tested experimentally ...
متن کاملSynchronized oscillation in coupled nanomechanical oscillators.
We report measurements of synchronization in two nanomechanical beam oscillators coupled by a mechanical element. We charted multiple regions of frequency entrainment or synchronization by their corresponding Arnold's tongue diagrams as the oscillator was driven at subharmonic and rational commensurate frequencies. Demonstration of multiple synchronized regions could be fundamentally important ...
