Neuroimmunology of the circadian clock
Brain Research, 2008 Circadian timekeeping is a ubiquitous feature of all eukaryotes which allows for the imposition of a biologically appropriate temporal architecture on an animal's physiology, behavior and metabolism. There is growing evidence that in mammals the processes of circadian timing are under the influence of the immune system.

Cell, 2017 Most creatures on this planet possess an ability to anticipate upcoming events in the environment, courtesy of their circadian clocks. This allows them to prepare for those changes instead of being caught by surprise, which could mean the difference between life and death. In this SnapShot, we describe the basics of how the clock ticks.

The cyanobacterial circadian clock
npj Biological Timing and SleepThis review summarizes recent advances in understanding the cyanobacterial circadian clock, emphasizing how the KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC proteins generate robust, temperature-compensated rhythms through ordered phosphorylation, conformational switching, and dynamic protein interactions. A comparative analysis of 30 KaiC structures under different states of

Glucocorticoids and the circadian clock [PDF]
Journal of Endocrinology, 2008 Glucocorticoids, hormones produced by the adrenal gland cortex, perform numerous functions in body homeostasis and the response of the organism to external stressors. One striking feature of their regulation is a diurnal release pattern, with peak levels linked to the start of the activity phase. This release is under control of the circadian clock, an

The Circadian Clock, Reward, and Memory [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2011 During our daily activities, we experience variations in our cognitive performance, which is often accompanied by cravings for small rewards, such as consuming coffee or chocolate. This indicates that the time of day, cognitive performance, and reward may be related to one another.

Light and the Human Circadian Clock
, 2013 The circadian clock can only reliably fulfil its function if it is stably entrained. Most clocks use the light-dark cycle as environmental signal (zeitgeber) for this active synchronisation. How we think about clock function and entrainment has been strongly influenced by the early concepts of the field's pioneers, and the astonishing finding that ...
