Synchronization of circadian locomotor activity behavior in Caernorhabditis elegans: Interactions between light and temperature.

Abstract excerpt

Circadian rhythms are driven by an endogenous clock which is synchronized by daily environmental cycles (known as zeitgebers). Although the circadian responses of C. elegans to light have been recently reported, the mechanisms and pathways involved in their synchronization are still unknown. Here we present, by means of a novel behavioral approach, a complete characterization of C. elegans circadian...
