A stochastic oscillator model simulates the entrainment of vertebrate cellular clocks by light

Abstract The circadian clock is a cellular mechanism that synchronizes various biological processes with respect to the time of the day. While much progress has been made characterizing the molecular mechanisms underlying this clock, it is less clear how external light cues influence the dynamics of...
