1 CHRONOBIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS OF CIRCADIAN CLOCK JET LAG -Resetting the clock by exposure to light at either dusk or dawn. -East to West: Later dusk, delay of clock. -West to East: Earlier dawn, advance of clock. -Resetting by drugs -Protein synthesis inhibitors: Causes phase-shifts (DRCs). -Protein phosphorylation and dephos: Causes period changes. SHIFT WORK; ACCIDENTS AND PERFORMANCE AT NIGHT -Many shift workers do not shift their biological clock. But alertness and task performance follows phase of the unshifted rhythm. -Single vehicle truck and car accidents and fatalities. Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Exxon Valdez. CHRONOTHERAPY -DSPI: Delayed Sleep Phase Insomnia. Failure of advance phase shifts. -ASPI: Advance Sleep Phase Insomnia. Failure of delay phase shifts -SAD: Seasonal Affective Disorder. Day length. -Timing of drug administration; chronopharmacology; LD 50s

CHRONOTHERAPY -DSPI: Delayed Sleep Phase Insomnia. Failure of advance phase shifts. -SAD: Seasonal Affective Disorder. Day length. -Drug administration; chronopharmacology; LD 50s

11 DELAYED SLEEP PHASE INSOMMNIA THERAPY Deficiency in advance phase shifts Treatment: Impose repeated delays until patient is back in phase.

12 IS THE CIRCADIAN CLOCK NECESSARY ? DOES THE CLOCK CONFER SELECTIVE ADVANTAGE? MEASURE LIFESPAN IN ANIMALS SUBJECTED TO NON-24 hr CYCLES RESONANCE EXPERIMENTS IN CYANOBACTERIA USING PERIOD MUTANTS

13 SURVIVIAL CURVES FOR FLIES IN LIGHT/DARK CYCLES WITH PERIODS OF 20, 24 AND 28 HOURS

14 FIVE HOUR LD PHASE SHIFTS EACH CYCLE

15 MUTANTS V.S. WILD TYPE IN DIFFERENT LD CYCLES

16 MUTANT TAU-28 V.S. WILD TYPE

17 SOME FUNCTIONS OF THE CIRCADIAN CLOCK TIME ACTIVITIES: CERTAIN TIMES OF DAY/NIGHT Insect eclosion acrophase is at time of daily temperature minimum. The internal bee clock; Visitations timed to time of flower openings Cyanobacteria, photosynthesis by day, nitrogen fixation by night. CELESTIAL NAVIGATION -Animal migration (birds, butterflies, arthropods, fish, reptiles); knowledge of time of day required. PHOTOPERIODISM: MEASURE DURATION OF DAY AND NIGHT -Plant rhythms: seasonal flowering, spring, summer or fall. -Animal seasonal reproduction; hamster only once per year.

30 DAY LENGTH AT DIFFERENT LATITUDES & SEASONS

31 CIRCANNUAL RHYTHMS IN SQUIRRELS & GONYAULAX

32 ANNUAL RHYTHM OF HUMAN REPRODUCTION Roenneberg & Aschoff,1990

33 PHOTOPERIODISM DISCOVERY: Garner & Allard, 1920 TOBACCO FLOWERING ONLY IN FALL WITH SHORT DAYS OTHER PLANTS SHOWN TO FLOWER WITH LONG DAYS. STILL OTHERS DAY LENGTH NEUTRAL TERMINOLOGY CORRECTED: Hamner & Bonner, 1938 LENGTH OF THE NIGHT, NOT THE DAY, IS CRITICAL LIGHT INTERRUPTIONS OF NIGHT BLOCK RESPONSE, DARK INTERRUPTIONS OF DAY DO NOT BLOCK INCORRECT TERMINOLOGY STILL IN USE:

34 HAMSTER TESTIS WEIGHT IN DIFFERENT FULL PHOTOPERIODS Elliott, 1976

35 PHOTOPERIODIC INDUCTION OF CYSTS IN GONYAULAX

36 SOY BEAN (SHORT DAY PLANT) 0.5 hr LIGHT INTERRUPTION OF LONG DARK PERIOD WARING, 1954

37 H. NIGER (LONG-DAY PLANT) 2 hr LIGHT INTERRUPTION OF LONG DARK PERIOD

38 SOYBEAN FLOWERING IN DIFFERENT LD CYCLES

39 MODELS FOR PHOTOPERIODISM HOUR GLASS: Substance X builds up during dark Explains night interruption Does not explain oscillation of long dark periods. ENDOGENOUS OSCILLATION External Coincidence model: Large delays & advances Internal Coincidence model: Light cycle entrains. Response is caused by interaction between two internal oscillators, pacemaker and slave.
