Abstract excerpt
Circadian rhythmicity in mammals, is controlled by the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus. We previously described a discrete subnucleus in the core of the hamster SCN containing calbindin-D28k-positive cells which are fos-positive in response to a light pulse. Ablation of this subnucleus results in loss of circadian locomotor rhythmicity even when other parts of the SCN are spared. Here we show...
