New Algorithm Opens Door to Better Understanding of Circadian Rhythms

Scientists at Washington University in St. Louis and collaborating institutions say they have developed a unified, data-driven computational approach to infer and reveal the connections in biological and chemical oscillatory networks that impact circadian rhythms, based on their time-series data. Once they establish the topology of these complex networks, they can infer how cells in the network work together in synchrony, an important state for the brain.Abnormal synchrony has been linked to a v
