Abstract excerpt
The adjustment of daily activity time (α) to the varying night length in nocturnal creatures was one of the functions originally attributed to a putative dual oscillator structure of circadian pacemakers in mammals. In two experimental approaches, we tested whether this ability is compromised in mice with functional deletions of one of the four circadian clock genes. First, we tested the capability of α...
