The circadian pacemaker generates similar circadian rhythms in the fractal structure of heart rate in humans and rats.
An endogenous circadian rhythm in sleep inertia results in greatest cognitive impairment upon awakening during the biological night.
The endogenous circadian pacemaker imparts a scale-invariant pattern of heart rate fluctuations across time scales spanning minutes to 24 hours.
The suprachiasmatic nucleus functions beyond circadian rhythm generation.
