FORMATION OF BIOLOGICAL RHYTHMS IN PRENATAL HUMAN ONTOGENESIS

Abstract

The formation of biological rhythms in prenatal period is associated with ontogenesis of suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus and pineal gland, activity of micro-RNA and clock genes. The involvement of these processes in the modulation of physiological rhythms was demonstrated.
