4 Aug 2006 | | Journal: | PLoS Computational Biology 2 (8): e103, 2006. | | Subject: | Molecular Networks; Chaotic Dynamics; Biological Physics | | Abstract: | The study of synchronization in biological systems is essential for the understanding of the rhythmic phenomena of living organisms at both molecular and cellular levels. In this paper, by using simple dynamical systems theory, we present a novel mechanism, named transient resetting, for the synchronization of uncoupled biological oscillators with stimuli. This mechanism not only can unify and extend many existing results on (deterministic and stochastic) stimulus-induced synchrony, but also may actually play an important role in biological rhythms. We argue that transient resetting is a possible mechanism for the synchronization in many biological organisms, which might also be further used in medical therapy of rhythmic disorders. Examples on the synchronization of neural and circadian oscillators are presented to verify our hypothesis. | | Source: | arXiv, q-bio/0608010 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
