Influence of early environment on the circadian period of the tau-mutant hamster.

Abstract excerpt

The role of the period of the environmental cycle during gestation and infancy on the circadian period of adult hamsters was studied. Tau-mutant hamsters of all three genotypes (+/+, 24-h circadian period; +/tau, 22-h period; tau/tau, 20-h period) were conceived and raised under either a 20-h light-dark cycle or a 24-h cycle. The circadian period in constant darkness was determined at 2 months of age by...
