Chronobiology refers to the process by which organisms time their behavior and physiology so that everything behaves rhythmically. In other words, it is biological timing. It is the rhythms of life; the internal clocks that control when you wake up, eat, digest your food and perform nearly every function that an organism is to perform. […]
La cronobiología y la ciencia del tiempo
La cronobiología se refiere al proceso por el cual los organismos cronometran su comportamiento y fisiología para que todo se comporte rítmicamente. En otras palabras, es el cronometraje biológico. Son los ritmos de la vida; los relojes internos que controlan cuándo uno se despierta, come, digiere los alimentos y realiza casi todas las funciones que […]
Chronobiology and How Our Internal Cycles Are Affected By External Factors
Chronobiology is an emerging area of study in the field of biology. It looks at how physical, mental and emotional cycles of humans and animals are affected and regulated by various natural rhythms, particularly those of the moon and sun. Sometimes called “circadian biology,” chronobiology is a multidisciplinary study that can touch on many elements […]
Cronobiología y cómo nuestros ciclos internos se ven afectados por factores externos
La cronobiología es un área de estudio emergente en el campo de la biología. Analiza cómo los ciclos físicos, mentales y emocionales de los seres humanos y los animales se ven afectados y regulados por diversos ritmos naturales, en particular los de la luna y el sol. A veces llamada “biología circadiana”, la cronobiología es […]
Shift Work Could Lead to Impaired Cognitive Function and Memory
In a study involving more than 3,000 men and women performed by scientists in Sweden and France, participants whose work hours weren’t the typical “9-to-5” were found to exhibit impairments in both long- and short-term memory, brain processing speed and cognitive function. Like chronic jet lag, shift work can throw the body’s circadian rhythm, or […]
