Oct. 14th, 2004 12:15 pmDual Internal Clocks Control Fruit Flies
Humans are not the only creatures with an internal biological clock. Fruit flies have two, which separately control morning and evening activity, scientists said Wednesday.
Separate teams of researchers in the United States and France discovered the dual clocks in brain cells of fruit flies in a finding that will provide insights into the workings of our own internal clock, which controls functions such as sleeping, waking and body temperature.
[...] The scientists suspect that mammals, including humans, may also have dual internal clocks, but they have yet to be found.
