In experimental settings, CB1 agonists like THC do alter sleep architecture, shifting NREM and REM balance and restructuring intermediate sleep stages.

As anticipation builds for the longer days that follow this weekend’s switch to daylight savings time, the moment seemed ideal to turn to one of the nation’s leading circadian-rhythms researchers, UC ...

The return to "standard time" is better for our health according to sleep scientists, but the time change can be disruptive, and our bodies must also adjust to more hours of darkness as we head ...

Researchers from the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS)/SOKENDAI and Kyushu University have uncovered the molecular mechanism that drives the "ticking" of the circadian clock in cyanobacteria.

Introduction -- A pattern emerges: early comparison of amino acid sequences -- A theory to match: the neutral theory of molecular evolution predicts a molecular clock -- Generation gap: the theory is ...
