Abstract excerpt
The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus is the principal circadian pacemaker in mammals, coordinating daily metabolic and physiological rhythms with the cycle of sleep and wakefulness. SCN neurons define circadian time via an auto-regulatory feedback loop in which the activation of Period (Per) and Cryptochrome genes is periodically suppressed by their own protein products. Casein kinase 1 (CK1)...
