Your Body's 4th Dimension: Biological Timing Regulates Biological Rhythms

1 Unit · Undergraduate

This course will introduce students to internal neural and molecular clocks regulating daily (Circadian) and annual (Seasonal) rhythms. Students will learn how disruption of circadian sleep-wake rhythms can have adverse effects on health, disease, safety and performance. Students will discover how scientists are uncovering the internal timing mechanisms bringing the 4th dimension of “Time" to biology. No prerequisites.
