Abstract excerpt
The circadian rhythm of core body temperature (Tb) was examined in two mouse lines bidirectionally selected for nest-building behavior (small (SNB) and big nest-builders (BNB)). This selection also resulted in more robust circadian organization of wheel-running activity in the SNB compared to the BNB mice. Tb was measured by an e-mitter implanted in the abdominal cavity. The circadian Tb rhythm of the SNB was...
