Physiological and Clinical Aspects of the Circadian System

Daten

Offizielle Daten in der Fachveröffentlichung für das folgende akademische Jahr: 2024-2025

Thematik

During the course, in addition to learning about the circadian system, we summarize how it is related to general health. We analyze the physiological and clinical aspects of the circadian rhythm (e.g. hormonal system, immune system, sleep, mental health, cardiovascular system and digestive system). During the course, we will discuss what diseases can be associated with circadian rhythm disorders, and we will also summarize the therapeutic options.
