Description

This book highlights the main rhythms of human behavior and experiences early in life, during gestation. It discusses their underlying molecular mechanisms as they develop in clockwise patterns. The book offers a comprehensive view of prenatal rhythms, showing their complexity, unlike traditional views that assume linearity.
Part 1 presents the latest data on structural rhythms of cerebral development, including the birth of the first neuron, neural wiring, myelination and inter-regional growth. These processes are described as they emerge from genome activation, followed by combinations of tissue- and time-specific gene expression. The transcriptomic architecture is discussed, alongside the development of antioxidative defenses. 
Part 2 focuses on the rise of early psychological phenomena, as they develop from time-sensitive molecular processes. Part 3 provides an integration and a breakthrough in understanding clock genes during gestation beyond their photic reactivity. Using novel data on clock genes, the author presents a model to describe their ultradian oscillatory reactions to electrochemical and structural conditions. This synthesis, summarized in an equation, bridges thermodynamics, Control Systems Theory, electrochemical principles, and Boolean functions.
This book speaks to all readers interested in understanding the origin of human experiences, especially the crucial role of ‘timers’ during gestation. This book will be of interest to scientists for further studies, to teachers and students for further learning in academic courses, and to clinicians who wish to refine their diagnostic examinations during gestation.
