This discovery leads the way to understanding how mammals, and presumably humans, adjust physiology and behavior to environmental changes such as short winter days and long summer ones. http://www.huliq.com/17697/circadian-neuronal-network-is-seasonal-timing-device#comments Science circadian cells Drosophila fruit flies insects behavior mammals Seasonal changes Fri, 06 Apr 2007 10:43:45 -0500 harminka 17697 at http://www.huliq.com
