Biological clocks: Hungry on time

Curr Biol. 2023 Dec 4;33(23):R1229-R1231. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2023.10.051.

Abstract

Remembering when it was last able to eat helps an animal optimise its foraging strategy for future meals. But where is that time memory located? A new study now shows that it is embedded in an enigmatic, light-entrainable circadian (daily) clock.
