Unravelling life's daily clock
Sir Brian K Follett, Department of Zoology, The University of Oxford
Human beings use their internal clock to regulate sleep cycles and many of us regularly experience the transient effect of disturbing their regular entrainment (jet lag). The lecture will return to human sleep cycles and to the remarkable finding in one extended human family that a single mutation in one clock gene profoundly alters the timing of daily sleep.
