Lectures
Dr. Joseph Takahashi takes us on an exciting journey into a very special region of the brain—the biological clock that governs our physiology and certain behaviors.
Lectures
Although tiny in size, the fruit fly has had a major impact on our understanding of circadian rhythms.

Classroom Resource
A guide written for teachers to accompany the 2000 Holiday Lectures on Science.
Series
Four lectures highlight the research of two scientists who have made groundbreaking discoveries elucidating the molecular basis of circadian clocks—the internal timekeepers that govern fluctuations in behavior and physiology on a 24-hour cycle.
Animation
This animation series shows four experiments that compare the activity patterns of a wild-type fly keeping a normal schedule with those of a mutant fly apparently following a 19-hour internal clock.
Animation
This animation shows the molecular interactions involved in the negative feedback loop responsible for circadian rhythms in mammals.
Animation
In mammals, the controlling clock component that generates a 24-hour rhythm is the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), located in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. The SCN produces a signal that can keep the rest of the body on an approximately 24-hour schedule. This animation illustrates...
