EUCLOCK investigates timing of circadian rhythms –
European chronobiologists joined in new research network

Munich, January 23, 2023 — Behaviour, physiology, and biochemistry are temporally structured and, thereby, generate daily oscillations. These cycles are not simply driven by external changes, light/dark or warm/cold for example, but are controlled by an endogenous clock that exists in the most diverse organisms, from cyanobacteria to humans. In real life, this circadian clock is synchronised to the outside world by rhythmic environmental signals, called 'zeitgebers', by a process called entrainment. EUCLOCK, a large research network starts in January 2006 to investigate the circadian clock from cells to humans, specifically how circadian clocks synchronise to their cyclic environment.
