Every living organism that is exposed to sunlight possesses an internal clock set to an approximately 24-hour schedule. Day and night cycles influence every cell within our bodies. Governed by a region of the brain’s hypothalamus referred to as the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), circadian rhythms modulate cellular function and control bodily processes such as sleep-wake […]
Todo organismo vivo expuesto a la luz solar posee un reloj interno que funciona aproximadamente las 24 horas del día. Los ciclos diurno y nocturno influyen en todas las células de nuestro cuerpo. Gobernados por una región del hipotálamo denominada núcleo supraquiasmático (NSC), los ritmos circadianos modulan la función celular y controlan procesos corporales como […]
When our daily activities don’t keep time with our internal clocks, we experience diminished performance, researchers say. A new study published in the journal Scientific Reports has found that students whose internal clocks are out of sync with their class times earn lower grades than those whose circadian rhythms better match their daily schedules. According to […]
Según los investigadores, cuando nuestras actividades diarias no coinciden con las de nuestro reloj interno, nuestro rendimiento disminuye. Un nuevo estudio publicado en la revista Scientific Reports ha descubierto que los estudiantes cuyos relojes internos no están sincronizados con sus horarios de clase obtienen notas más bajas que aquellos cuyos ritmos circadianos se ajustan mejor […]
