Area of Science:

  • Chronobiology
  • Biological Rhythms
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Historically, chronobiology was limited to botany.
  • Recent decades have seen its expansion to include animal and human research.
  • Biological rhythms are linked to environmental cycles like day/night and seasons.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an introduction to the field of chronobiology.
  • To focus on the developmental aspect of biological rhythms.
  • To explain the emergence of 24-hour rhythms in children.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of chronobiology research.
  • Analysis of developmental patterns in circadian rhythms.
  • Synthesis of existing data on rhythm development in pediatric populations.
