Thanks for posting that. What a brilliant article! I had no idea that the science of internal clocks had got so far.

I am interested in this because I am interested in the reason why we tend to think the mind has no particular place in space. I think it is just because we know when our thoughts were but not where they were, because our cells have no means of knowing where they are in the body, but they know what time it is! So our thoughts really are at a particular place in the brain but our brain cells cannot tell us where that is.

Wow! Absolutely fascinating and the implications for treatment boggles the mind.

Chronobiologist. I had never heard that term nor knew this is an area of biology.

Thanks @leela
