Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation02:19

Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation

4.1K
The biological clock is involved in many aspects of regulating complex physiology in all animals. It was in 1935 when German zoologists, Hans Kalmus and Erwin Bünning, discovered the existence of circadian rhythm in Drosophila melanogaster. However, the internal molecular mechanisms behind the circadian clock remained a mystery until 1984, when Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young discovered the expression of the Per gene oscillating over a 24-hour cycle. In subsequent...

Biological Clocks and Seasonal Responses

The circadian—or biological—clock is an intrinsic, timekeeping, molecular mechanism that allows plants to coordinate physiological activities over 24-hour cycles called circadian rhythms. Photoperiodism is a collective term for the biological responses of plants to variations in the relative lengths of dark and light periods. The period of light-exposure is called the photoperiod.

Chronopharmacokinetics: Circadian Rhythms and Influence on Drug Response

81
Circadian rhythms are cyclic changes that are crucial in plasma drug concentrations. Various standard circadian parameters, including core body temperature, heart rate, and other cardiovascular factors, directly impact disease states and the therapeutic response to drug therapy.
The time of drug administration is an important factor to consider, as it can influence the toxic dose of a drug. For example, a study conducted by Prins et al. in 1997 examined the effects of the timing of...

Area of Science:

  • Robotics
  • Computational Biology
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Biological rhythms, including circadian rhythms, are internal variations in organisms that adapt to environmental changes.
  • The suprachiasmatic nucleus acts as the human biological pacemaker, regulating functions like sleep, emotion, and homeostasis.
  • Adaptive robot behavior is crucial for effective human-robot interaction in dynamic social environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a biologically inspired model for autonomous and adaptive robot behavior based on circadian biorhythms.
  • To enhance human-robot engagement by enabling robots to emulate human social skills through adaptive behavior.
  • To develop a robot control system that mimics human biological functions for decision-making.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Dynamic Circadian Integrated Response Characteristic (DCIRC) method to model human circadian rhythms.
  • Implemented an adaptive robot clock synchronized to environmental stimuli such as light, ambient noise, and user activity.
  • Simulated hormonal regulation influencing sleep/activity timing, stress, and heart rate control.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated the model's adaptive response to time shifts and seasonal variations in ambient stimuli.
  • Showcased successful synchronization of robot behavior with changing environmental conditions.
  • Validated the regulation of simulated hormones critical for biological functions in robots.

Conclusions:

  • The biologically inspired model effectively enables adaptive robot behavior in response to environmental dynamics.
  • This approach enhances robot social skills and user engagement by mimicking human biological rhythms.
  • The DCIRC method provides a robust framework for creating more responsive and human-like autonomous systems.
