Chronobiology.
Several fundamental principles of chronobiology are discussed. The importance of biological rhythmicity in (1) the every day interpretation of data, both descriptive and experimental, and (2) the design of scientifically accurate experiments, is the main theme of this presentation. Examples of circadian rhythms in a variety of physiological, psychological, and biochemical variables of the rodent and man are given.
