A circadian rhythm is a 24-hour cycle dictated by the body's internal clock, which is controlled by several physiological mechanisms. Most plants and animals have a circadian rhythm, and in humans it ...

Circadian rhythms are inherent cycles of approximately 24 hours that regulate various biological processes, such as sleep and wakefulness. A research group at Nagoya University in Japan has recently ...

Are you a night owl or an early morning lark? If your preference is for getting up bright and early and getting started as soon as your feet hit the floor, then you would be considered a lark. Owls, ...

Biologically, we live on the clock, driven by a neurochemical in our brains responsible for circadian rhythms. That tick-tock controls our sleep and wakefulness; the release of hormones; feeding; ...

Research highlights the hepatic vagal nerve’s role in regulating food intake rhythms, offering new insights for potential anti-obesity treatments. Study: Hepatic Vagal Afferents Convey Clock-Dependent ...
