Product Description
The Sun Rises and sets, tides ebb and flow, and the seasons change. Circadian clocks -- internal timekeepers that govern fluctuations in behavior and physiology on a 24-hour cycle -- have helped organisms adapt to the rhythms of life on Earth.
In recent years, scientists have gained a greater understanding of circadian clocks. These four lectures highlight the research of two biomedical scientists who have made groundbreaking discoveries elucidating the molecular basis of circadian clocks.
In these lectures -- enhanced by scientific animations and student questions -- the scientists explain what circadian clocks are, how they work, and what relevance this knowledge might have for human health. They also describe the scientific methods that led to their discoveries of the key genes that underlie clock function. |
