A Perfect Time for Circadian Medicine

This issue of Neurologic Clinics is devoted to the important emerging field of circadian medicine and its implications to the practice of neurology, and medicine as a whole. This issue comes on the heels of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which recognized the seminal discovery of the genetic mechanisms that generate circadian rhythms and the overarching impact of biological timing to the practice of medicine. Since the mid 1990s, and in particular during the past decade, discoveries demonstrated the ubiquity of these molecular circadian clocks in nearly all tissues of the nervous system and throughout the body.
