Seasonal fluctuations in mood, drive, energy, sleeping- and eating behavior, weight, as well as further important mental and physical functions, and the utilization of light as an effective treatment option were already described by Hippocrates of Kos and Araeteus, the Cappadocian.

Under sleep loss, vigilance is reduced and attentional failures emerge progressively. It becomes difficult to maintain stable performance over time, leading to growing performance variability (i.e.

Chronobiology and nutrition [PDF]
Numerous long-term studies have investigated the circadian clock system in mammals, which organizes physiological functions, including metabolism, digestion, and absorption of food, and energy expenditure. Food or nutrition can be a synchronizer for the circadian clock systems, as potent as the external light-dark signal can be.

Application of Bioinformatics in Chronobiology Research
Bioinformatics and other well-established sciences, such as molecular biology, genetics, and biochemistry, provide a scientific approach for the analysis of data generated through “omics” projects that may be used in studies of chronobiology. The results

Chronobiology: Discovery of the molecular mechanisms of circadian rhythm
Advances in the field chronobiology have potential implications for physical as well as mental health and human behavior. Several paradigm-shifting discoveries established key mechanistic principles for the biological clock.

Introduction to Chronobiology [PDF]
A diverse range of species, from cyanobacteria to humans, evolved endogenous biological clocks that allow for the anticipation of daily variations in light and temperature. The ability to anticipate regular environmental rhythms promotes optimal performance and survival.

Comment la chronobiologie est-elle possible ? La durée et la science contemporaine
By focusing on the mechanisms that allow living beings to synchronize with their environment, chronobiology is based on the notion of time more than biology had ever done before. But what concept of time this branch of biology presupposes?

A medullary hub for controlling REM sleep and pontine waves
Rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep is a distinct behavioral state associated with vivid dreaming and memory processing. Phasic bursts of electrical activity, measurable as spike-like pontine (P)-waves, are a hallmark of REM sleep implicated in memory ...

Chronobiology and Anesthesia [PDF]
CHRONOBIOLOGY investigates biologic rhythms that are involved in the organization of living organisms. Biologic rhythms consist of variations of biologic phenomena that are periodic and foreseeable in time. They are genetically determined as indicated by their persistence during constant conditions such as continuous light or darkness.

Chronobiology by moonlight [PDF]
Most studies in chronobiology focus on solar cycles (daily and annual). Moonlight and the lunar cycle received considerably less attention by chronobiologists. An exception are rhythms in intertidal species. Terrestrial ecologists long ago acknowledged the effects of moonlight on predation success, and consequently on predation risk, foraging behaviour
