Summary
This paper discusses the study of chronobiology, the science of biological rhythms, and how it has contributed to understanding the biological mechanisms of endogenous circadian rhythmicity, neurophysiological mechanisms of the photic system, and neuroendocrine mechanisms of internal rhythm synchronization.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how biological rhythms, or chronobiology, contribute to cognitive function and memory through the study of endogenous circadian rhythmicity.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of hormone regulation in chronobiology, particularly in relation to the neuroendocrine mechanisms of internal rhythm synchronization.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the role of sleep and insomnia in chronobiology, particularly in relation to the neurophysiological mechanisms of the photic system.
Phototherapy: The paper discusses the role of phototherapy in chronobiology, particularly in relation to the neurophysiological mechanisms of the photic system.
Shift work: The paper discusses the impact of shift work on biological rhythms, or chronobiology, and how it can disrupt these rhythms.
Jet lag: The paper discusses the impact of jet lag on biological rhythms, or chronobiology, and how it can disrupt these rhythms.
