Shift in Time Zone: The Biologic Clock and Neurology

Almost every tissue in the human body functions according to an internal clock regulated to a 24-hour circadian rhythm. Tissues and cells that begin to function outside of this rhythm have a tendency toward carcinogenesis (1). The hypothesis of the mechanism of the biologic clock has brought a Nobel...

Summary:Almost every tissue in the human body functions according to an internal clock regulated to a 24-hour circadian rhythm. Tissues and cells that begin to function outside of this rhythm have a tendency toward carcinogenesis (1). The hypothesis of the mechanism of the biologic clock has brought a Nobel prize to its owner (2). With this communication, we emphasize the relationship between the biologic clock and neurology and aim to inspire readers in challenging fields of research.
