How Do Animals Perceive Time?
I’m writing this on a Tuesday, at 2:26 p.m. Minutes ago, it was 9 a.m., or so it feels; back then, I was enjoying the delusion, refreshed each morning, that I’d accomplish what I needed to do today. I still might there are hours left in the workday but I’m wiser than I was when I woke up five hours ago: it’ll be 7pm soon, the day definitively in tatters. Another of Time’s routine beatdowns.

One advantage of being a cat, or a stingray, is not having to think about time this way (and, by extension, death). But are they entirely free from the temporal plane? Do they perceive it in any way? Do some species perceive it more acutely than others? For this week’s Giz Asks, we reached out to a number of experts to find out.
Biological Clock May Offer Treatment for Prostate Cancer by Karishma Abhishek on January 16, 2021 at 2:44 PM
All our body s natural rhythms of light and dark are synchronized by our biological or circadian clock. Disrupting this clock might simply bring all the process to halt. This may even lead to prostate cancer - second leading cause of cancer death for men in the U.S. One of the clock genes CRY-1 is found to be involved in prostate cancer progression, as per the research at the Sidney Kimmel Cancer - Jefferson Health (SKCC) published in the journal Nature Communications. When we analyzed human cancer data, the circadian factor CRY-1 was found to increase in late stage prostate cancers, and is strongly associated with poor outcomes. However, the role of CRY-1 in human cancers has not been explored , says Karen Knudsen, MBA PhD, executive vice president of oncology services for Jefferson Health and enterprise director of SKCC, and senior author
it s located what it controls what happens if we kind of live against our clock and all these interesting question. and see patients who are shift workers and have problems and troubles doing all the shift work is this a problem with the circadian clock yeah shift work means that you are living in your own internal clock and and since the clock he s already getting so many different physiological processes that means that you kind of live against these processes and that kind of can cause really save your health problems and we know for example that nurses who do shift work. risk for breast cancer is increased we know that meant to balik problems can occur if you live against your clock we know that certain types of depressions are frequently of sore and so on but you do to compensate these i mean you have to do
