Induction of internal circadian desynchrony by misaligning zeitgebers

Abstract 24-h rhythms in physiology and behaviour are orchestrated by an endogenous circadian clock system. In mammals, these clocks are hierarchically organized with a master pacemaker residing in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). External time signals—so-called zeitgebers—align inter...
