Internal desynchronization has been also reported in humans [7,8], and it is believed to be the cause of several pathologies [9,10].
A very recent study using a forced desynchronization protocol has indicated the presence of two oscillators in the anatomically SCN subdivisions [22], thus suggesting that the SCN is composed of different populations of circadian oscillators that constitute regional pacemakers controlling specific circadian outputs.
In mammals the pineal gland is the major source of circulating melatonin, and several studies have shown that melatonin synthesis is under the control of a circadian pacemaker located in the SCN via a multisynaptic pathway [23].

A common term for this replacement of the regular alpha rhythm with irregular low-voltage activity is desynchronization, because it represents a breaking up of the synchronized activity of neuronal elements responsible for the wave pattern.
Because desynchronization is produced by sensory stimulation and is correlated with the aroused, alert state, it is also called the arousal or alerting response.
Furthermore,  cortical desynchronization can still be elicited by stimulation of the midbrain reticular formation immediately after thalamic ablation, which indicates that another, alternate extrathalamic route and relay to the cortex must exist.

 Preventing Desynchronization of the Circadian System in Long-Term Space Flight
In this project, we plan to further investigate this phenomenon, and test specific countermeasures to obviate the occurrence of internal desynchronization in animals exposed to constant dim light.
Internal desynchronization has profound effects on the capability of the organisms to perform (mentally and physically) and to remain healthy.

We are issuing this AD to prevent desynchronization of one of the three rudder servo actuators, which, if combined with an engine failure, could result in the loss of the related hydraulic system and could cause the loss of one of the two synchronized actuators.
As explained previously, desynchronization of one of the three rudder servo actuators, if combined with an engine failure, could result in the loss of the related hydraulic system and, potentially, loss of one of the two synchronized actuators.
If any desynchronization (rudder movement) is detected, prior to further flight, either adjust or replace, as applicable, the spring rod of the affected rudder servo actuator in accordance with the applicable service bulletin.

 KMORB EXAMPLE: A Simulated Split-Dose Experiment -- Figure 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
When cell desynchronization effects are not included in the cell aging model (for more about the cell aging model, see [St97]), the oscillating behavior of the survival response continues indefinitely because the S phase cells surviving the first dose of radiation remain synchronized.
However when cell desynchronization effects are included in the cell aging model, the cells in an initially synchronized group of cells tend to redistribute themselves in the cell cycle.
The net effect of these cell desynchronization effects is to decrease the amplitude of the oscillations as the time between doses increases.

 Spatio-temporal analysis of irregular vocal fold oscillations:Biphonation due to desynchronization of spatial modes ...
This report is on direct observation and modal analysis of irregular spatio-temporal vibration patterns of vocal fold pathologies in vivo.
It is shown quantitatively that biphonation can be induced either by left-right asymmetry or by desynchronized anterior-posterior vibratory modes, and the term "AP (anterior-posterior) biphonation" is introduced.
This paper proposes methods to analyze quantitatively irregular vocal fold contour patterns in vivo and complements previous findings of desynchronization of vibration modes in computer modes and in in vitro experiments.

The EEG is desynchronized during wakefulness and REM sleep.
Single neuronal activity was recorded in chronically prepared freely moving normal cats and their activities were correlated with EEG desynchronization during spontaneous wakefulness, REM sleep, and during wakefulness induced by stimulation of the brain stem reticular formation.
It was found that responses of a majority of the neurons during stimulation-induced desynchronization were similar to that of their firing rate during EEG desynchronization associated with spontaneous wakefulness irrespective of their behavior during REM sleep; the REM-ON neurons were not affected by the stimulation-induced desynchronization.

Examples of jitter sources include mapping jitter, caused by bit justification, or stuffing, to match the asynchronous bit rate to a synchronous transport signal; and pointer jitter, the outcome of frequency mismatches between two networks that offset the payload and cause pointer movement.
Discrete desynchronizing solutions use a combination of a very narrow-bandwidth crystal oscillator based Phase Locked Loop (PLL) referred to as a Voltage Control Oscillator (VCXO), and a deep FIFO for each data rate and channel.

Health is now coming to be viewed as a state when all the body’s biological rhythms are closely "in sync." Moreover, many illnesses, including allergy, arthritis, asthma, cardiovascular disease, depression, and even cancer, are affected by bodily clocks.
Desynchronization of these clocks can cause a variety of mental and physical problems, including depression, mental fogginess, memory loss, headaches, moodiness, short temper, tension, poor appetite, slow reflexes, fatigue, weakness, and off-schedule bowel movements.
The body depends upon external cues for a smooth transition between the daytime catecholamine-driven cycle and the nighttime indoleamine sleep and repair cycle.

The second part of this paper deals with the behavior of neural networks comprising connected oscillators, which involves looking at the conditions for desynchronization of a totally synchronized oscillator net.
This leads to the observation that some architectures enable proper desynchronization when the size of the network is large.
While searching for the conditions for desynchronization, we have discovered that a macroscopic description of the network is sometimes possible.

Desynchronization, mode-locking and bursting in strongly coupled integrate-and-fire oscillators
We show how a synchronized pair of integrate-and-fire neural oscillators with non-instantaneous synaptic interactions can destabilize in the strong coupling regime resulting in non-phase-locked behaviour.
In the case of symmetric inhibitory coupling, desynchronization produces an inhomogeneous state in which one of the oscillators becomes inactive (oscillator death).

Here, desynchronization between two blocks means that they never stay in the active phase at the same time.
