Abstract excerpt
We examined the role of c-fos in the synchronization of circadian rhythms to environmental light cycles using a line of gene-targeted mice carrying a null mutation at this locus. Circadian locomotor rhythms in mutants had similar periods as wild-type controls but took significantly longer than controls to entrain to 12:12 light-dark cycles. Light-induced phase shifts of rhythms in constant dark were attenuated in...
