Development of Circadian Clock Functions, volume II
The temporal order of physiological functions such as sleep/wakefulness is regulated by the circadian clock. This intrinsic clock starts ticking in the embryo and matures during development, with attenuation of the clock function in the elderly, illustrated by attenuation of synchrony, entrainment, and outputs of cellular circadian rhythms in the SCN. This age-related diminution can contribute to the emergence of diseases, such as sleep disorders, infertility, diabetes, mental disorders etc. Over the course of our lives, a variety of internal and external factors are under the influence of the circadian clock. This inherent developmental plasticity of the circadian system is critical for the...
Chronobiology and Chronomedicine
Circadian rhythms have been shown to be ubiquitous and critically important in the experimental laboratory, accounting for the difference between life and death in response to identical stimulus. The partly endogenous nature of circadian rhythms has been well documented and methods for their characterisation have been developed enabling the cellular and molecular mechanisms to be understood. Chronobiology and Chronomedicine aims to provide a review of these mechanisms underlying circadian rhythms and illustrate the role of the brain’s suprachiasmatic nuclei in the ‘pace-making’ process and the effects caused by ‘clock genes’ present in almost all cells. Beyond the mechanisms involv...
Sleep and Clocks in Aging and Longevity
This edited volume focuses on the interplay between sleep and circadian rhythms with health, aging and longevity. Sleep is absolutely important for human health and survival, as insufficient sleep is associated with a plethora of conditions, including the poor quality of life, onset of several diseases, and premature death. The sleep–wake cycle is an evolutionary conserved neurobiological phenomenon, and is a prominent manifestation of the biological clocks localised in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Understanding bidirectional relationship between sleep and circadian rhythms is of utmost importance and urgency, especially in the context of modern lifestyle where sleep is often out of ...
Make Life Visible
This open access book describes marked advances in imaging technology that have enabled the visualization of phenomena in ways formerly believed to be completelyimpossible. These technologies have made major contributions to the elucidation of the pathology of diseases as well as to their diagnosis and therapy. The volume presents various studies from molecular imaging to clinical imaging. It also focuses on innovative, creative, advanced research that gives full play to imaging technology inthe broad sense, while exploring cross-disciplinary areas in which individual research fields interact and pursuing the development of new techniques where they fuse together. The book is separated into ...
