Circle (s) of life: the circadian clock from birth to death
Summary:
The paper discusses the development and evolution of the circadian clock from birth to death, focusing on how it changes over one's lifetime and its impact on health and disease.
Categories
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of the circadian clock in cognitive functions and memory, particularly its impact on health and disease.
- Aging: The paper discusses how the function of the circadian clock is impacted by aging, and how understanding these changes can contribute to adapting behavioral and medical interventions to the patients’ age.
- Pregnancy and Fetal Development: The paper discusses how the circadian clock develops during pregnancy and infancy, and how it is synchronized by the maternal clock.
- Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of hormones such as melatonin and glucocorticoids in the regulation of the circadian clock during pregnancy and infancy.
- Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the role of light in the entrainment of the circadian clock, particularly in infancy when the infant's retina is fully developed.
