We present a simple and realistic model of the circadian pacemaker that can be interpreted in molecular terms. The model, which consists of a single time-delay di!erential equation, simulates the expression of a generic clock protein that inhibits its own expression through a feedback mechanism. Des

In 1990, Kronauer proposed a mathematical model of the effects of light on the human circadian pacemaker. Although this model predicted many general features of the response of the human circadian pacemaker to light exposure, additional data now available enable us to refine the original model. We f
The Culex circadian pacemaker's response to phase-resetting light signals was studied in the first 3 cycles of darkness following a 12h light exposure. (1) In both cycles 1 and 2 there is a clear change from "type 1" to "type 0" phase-resetting as the resetting signal is prolonged (Fig. 2). ( 2) Mos
