Tau-mutant hamster SCN clock neurones express a 20 h firing rate rhythm in vitro.

Neuroreport - 27 Oct 1994

Davies I R, Mason R

Abstract excerpt

In vitro neurophysiological studies have demonstrated a circadian rhythm with a period of 24 h in spontaneous neuronal discharge frequency within the rodent suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) circadian clock. This report examines the 'circadian' firing rate rhythm in the SCN of the homozygous Tau-muta...
