How do our bodies keep time? According to new research, our individual organs and central clocks may work together through a process known as coupled oscillation. We often talk about the circadian rhythm as though it were one single timepiece. However, our internal clocks are much more complicated than this. In fact, every organ system […]
¿Cómo marcan el tiempo nuestros cuerpos? Según una nueva investigación, es posible que nuestros órganos individuales y relojes centrales trabajen juntos a través de un proceso conocido como oscilación acoplada. A menudo hablamos del ritmo circadiano como si fuera un único reloj. Sin embargo, nuestros relojes internos son mucho más complicados. De hecho, cada sistema […]
New chronobiology research has discovered a light-sensing molecule that may be partially responsible for our eyes’ ability to sense day and night. How do our bodies sense light? There are several things that we do know about this complicated topic. We know that our circadian rhythms are partly dependent on light levels in our environments. […]
Una nueva investigación sobre cronobiología ha descubierto una molécula sensible a la luz que podría ser parcialmente responsable de la capacidad de nuestros ojos para percibir el día y la noche. ¿Cómo percibe la luz nuestro cuerpo? Hay varias cosas que sabemos sobre este complicado tema. Sabemos que nuestros ritmos circadianos dependen en parte de […]
350 years ago, the creator of the pendulum clock observed that two machines with occasionally synchronized times, called coupled oscillators, would be an ideal way to regulate time. Centuries later, scientists are discovering that coupled oscillators may be the key to how the internal clocks in our gastrointestinal tract are set. What Are Coupled Oscillators? […]
