Model of Internal Clocks Reveals How Jet Lag Disrupts the System

...tability of the system, Siegelmann says. The light sensitive compartment of the master clock responds quickly, providing flexibility, whereas the intermediate compartment of the SCN seems to act as a buffer against small perturbations in the cycle. The simulations suggest that the system gets most out of wha...
