Journal of Biological Rhythms
Every other month, the Journal presents work at the leading edge of understanding the basic nature, mechanisms, and functions underlying the generation, entrainment, and expression of biological rhythms in plants, animals, and humans.
Some of the important topics discussed include:
Sleep-Wake Cycles
Impact and Role of Rhythms in Health and Disease
Rhythms and Depression
Jet Lag and Shift Work
Hormonal and Metabolic Rhythms
Behavioral and Performance Rhythms
Reproductive Cycles
Photoperiodism, Seasonal Cycles, and Annual Cycles
Plant Rhythms and Their Mechanisms
Hibernation and Migration
Cellular Clock Mechanisms
Neuroanatomy and Neurobiology of Circadian Systems
Melatonin and Pineal Gland
Molecular Basis of Circadian Timing
Identification of Genes Underlying Rhythmicity
Control of Gene Expression by Clock Proteins
Comparison of Rhythm Mechanisms among Life Forms
Mechanisms of Photoreception and Photoentrainment
Information Transfer from and among Clock Cells
Mathematical Models of Circadian Oscillators

Journal of Biological Rhythms (JBR) publishes original reports in English describing original research into all aspects of biological rhythms. Emphasis is placed on circadian and seasonal rhythms, but papers on other rhythms are also published. In addition to original research papers, the Journal publishes reviews, commentaries, editorials, letters, and other items of interest related to biological rhythms. Authors use genetic, biochemical, physiological behavioral, and modeling approaches to understand the nature, mechanisms, and functions of biological rhythms in plants and animals. They also study human rhythms in experimental, clinical, and real world settings. Preliminary or incomplete studies will not be considered. Research reported in the journal must meet the highest standards of experimental design and data analysis. Opinion papers and reviews of significant timely issues will also be considered.
