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 ...

Thought emerges and is controlled in the brain via the rhythmically and spatially coordinated activity of millions of neurons, scientists argue in a new article. Understanding cognition and its ...

Are you an early bird or a night owl? The tendency to rise early or sleep late is determined by our circadian clock, which is a biological timekeeper that makes sure our bodies are adjusted to the ...

Contrary to common belief, not all vertebrates regulate their sleep-wake rhythm in the same way. University of Basel researchers have discovered that some fish—unlike humans—do not need orexin to stay ...
