Biological processes that repeat themselves every 24 hours within a biological system are called circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are generated by the circadian clock, which affects the operation of practically every function in the body. Now in its third edition, this book presents the latest information on basic research in circadian biology and its applications in business and medicine. The book reviews the history of the field, explains classical and novel research methods, explores behavioral, physiological, and ecological processes, and describes neural and molecular mechanisms of circadian rhythmicity. It also examines applications in the selection of the optimal timing for work and play, prevention of jet lag, avoidance of the shift-work malaise, and treatment of sleep disorders and psychiatric illnesses.
About the Author
Roberto Refinetti, PhD, is a physiological psychology professor, circadian physiology researcher, and chair of the department of psychology at Boise State University in Idaho, USA. He is also a member of the graduate faculty of the University of Messina (Italy) and was formerly associated with the University of South Carolina, the University of Virginia, the University of Illinois, the University of São Paulo (Brazil), and the University of California at Santa Barbara, where he earned his doctorate. His research program in circadian physiology, which concentrates on the integration of circadian and homeostatic mechanisms, has been funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. Professor Refinetti is editor-in-chief of the Journal of Circadian Rhythms and of the interdisciplinary journal Sexuality & Culture.
