Sommario/riassunto

Modern molecular biology and genetics has enabled significant strides in research on the basic properties of biological rhythms. These advances will, in addition to relevance for understanding of cell and body biochemistry, health, and aging, provide insights into the molecular control of behavior. This comprehensive account of the molecular basis of circadian rhythms will cover the recent advances in addition to providing a solid groundwork in the basic aspects of biological timing.
