Resumen

Los ritmos circadianos, y en general los biológicos, no son generados por las señales cíclicas de nuestro entorno. De hecho, una característica importante es que los ritmos biológicos persisten cuando las condiciones ambientales se mantienen constantes. Esta es la demostración definitiva de la existencia de un reloj endógeno que genera los ritmos biológicos. Aunque el núcleo supraquiasmático (NSQ) sea el macapasos central, sería más correcto definirlo como un sincronizador principal, capaz de unificar las fases celulares del cuerpo [Fragmento de texto].

Interesante y novedoso artículo ¡Enhorabuena!, creo que es importante mantener un estilo de vida regular en cuanto a ritmos de actividad-reposo, exposición a la luz durante el día, horario de comidas y contactos sociales, no obstante, el envejecimiento es un periodo de la vida vulnerable que, a veces, dificulta mantener una franja de estabilidad en los cuidados diarios.
