Abstract excerpt
The "master clock" in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus controls most behavioral, physiological, and molecular circadian rhythms in mammals. However, there are other, still unidentified, circadian oscillators that are able to carry out some SCN functions. Here we show that one of these, the methamphetamine-sensitive circadian oscillator (MASCO), which generates behavioral rhythms in the...
