AB ObjectivesAfter  studying  this  chapter,  the  student  should  be  able  to:Understand  how  circadian  rhythms  are  ubiquitous  throughout  all  life  and  in  virtually  all  cells  in  most  species.Know  how  circadian  rhythms  are  derived  from  intrinsic  clock  mechanisms.Understand  how  light  sensed  by  some  cells  within  an  organism  synchronizes  the  circadian  rhythms  of  the  entire  organism.Understand  the  difference  between  synchronization  and  entrainment  of  circadian  clocks.Understand  how  circadian  rhythms  work  in  terms  of  sleep/activity  epochs.Understand  the  molecular  basis  of  intrinsic  circadian  rhythms  and  its  robustness  with  respect  to  temperature  and  other  perturbations.Recount  the  role  of  the  suprachiasmatic  nucleus  (SCN)  and  retinal  output  in  circadian  rhythms.Be  aware  of  the  importance  of  vasoactive  intestinal  polypeptide  (VIP)  in  circadian  rhythms.Understand  how  the  SCN  influences  the  rest  of  the  body’s  circadian  rhythms.Understand  dysfunctions  in  circadian  rhythms  such  as  seasonal  affective  disorder  and  sleep  problems.
