Ultradian Rhythms in Life Processes An Inquiry into Fundamental Principles of Chronobiology and Psychobiology

Ultradian Rhythms in Life Processes An Inquiry into Fundamental Principles of Chronobiology and Psychobiology / edited by David Lloyd, Ernest L. Rossi.

Profound progress has been made in the fields of chronobiology and psychobiology within the past decade, in theory, experiment and clinical application. This volume integrates these new developments on all levels from the molecular, genetic and cellular to the psycho­ social processes of everyday li...
