Abstract: Most animals and plants show circadian rhythms – behavioural or physiological cycles tied to a 24-hour clock. These cycles are controlled by internal clocks that are 'entrained' to external time by daylight. It has now been shown that the circadian clocks in the heart or kidney cells of zebrafish can respond directly to light, without any input from the visual system.
