Light and darkness are the main time cues synchronising all biological clocks to the external environment. This little understood evolutionary phenomenon is called circadian entrainment. A new study illuminates our understanding of how modern light- and lifestyles compromise circadian entrainment and impact our biological clocks.
光和暗是主要的时间线索,将所有生物钟与外部环境同步。这种尚未被充分理解的进化现象被称为昼夜节律同步。一项新的研究阐明了我们对现代光照和生活方式如何干扰昼夜节律同步以及如何影响生物钟的理解。
