How Light Therapy Helps With Traumatic Brain Injuries The wound-healing properties of light of different wavelengths have been […]
Brain Tumors Use the Circadian Clock to Grow
Virtually every cell in the human body has an internal clock. These clocks are controlled by a central clock in the brain. In a normal, biological process called synchrony, the central clock coordinates the daily rhythms in the body so that each cell and tissue recognizes the same external time of day.
