Course content
"Chronobiology" is the science of temporal organization of biological systems. During the study of this discipline the classification and characteristics of the main ones are considered biorhythms of living organisms, including humans, their physiological and adaptive significance, mechanisms of regulation; as well as - disorders of biorhythms (desynchronosis), methods of their treatment and prevention. In addition, the basics of chronopharmacology, chronotherapy and chronooncology are studied.
