| Summary: | The chronobiological landscape has been greatly dominated by circadian rhythms. The existence of shorter-than 24-hour rhythms, called ultradian rhythms, has also emerged. Ultradian rhythms cover a broad spectrum of periodicities ranging from milliseconds to multiple hours. Ultradian rhythms have been associated with a wide spectrum of processes at behavioural, transcriptional, cellular and metabolic levels, including gene expression, hormonal release and behavioural activity. Perhaps the most prominent example of ultradian behaviour in mammals is the common vole (Microtus arvalis), a rodent exhibiting fluctuation in its behavioural activity in the hourly range. ... : ... |
