Journal of Biological Rhythms

Every other month, the Journal presents work at the leading edge of understanding the basic nature, mechanisms, and functions underlying the generation, entrainment, and expression of biological rhythms in plants, animals, and humans.

Some of the important topics discussed include:

• Sleep-Wake Cycles

• Impact and Role of Rhythms in Health and Disease

• Rhythms and Depression

• Jet Lag and Shift Work

• Hormonal and Metabolic Rhythms

• Behavioral and Performance Rhythms

• Reproductive Cycles

• Photoperiodism, Seasonal Cycles, and Annual Cycles

• Plant Rhythms and Their Mechanisms

• Hibernation and Migration

• Cellular Clock Mechanisms

• Neuroanatomy and Neurobiology of Circadian Systems

• Melatonin and Pineal Gland

• Molecular Basis of Circadian Timing

• Identification of Genes Underlying Rhythmicity

• Control of Gene Expression by Clock Proteins

• Comparison of Rhythm Mechanisms among Life Forms

• Mechanisms of Photoreception and Photoentrainment

• Information Transfer from and among Clock Cells

• Mathematical Models of Circadian Oscillators
