Background:

  • Earth's rotation causes daily light-dark cycles.
  • Organisms possess internal circadian clocks for adaptation.
  • Circadian clocks are crucial for anticipating environmental changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce the research field of circadian rhythm.
  • Outline a Special Review series on vertebrate circadian clocks.
  • Detail recent advancements in molecular mechanisms.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature.
  • Analysis of molecular mechanisms.
  • Focus on vertebrate circadian clock systems.

Main Results:
