Region-specific <i>Per1</i> induction dissociates circadian and mood responses to light

2026-05-25

Abstract excerpt

Light is a major environmental cue that synchronizes circadian rhythms and modulates affective behaviors. In mammals, photic information reaches multiple brain regions, including the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), the master circadian pacemaker, and the lateral habenula (LHb), a structure implicated in mood-related behaviors such as despair. Both regions harbor the light-inducible clock gene Per1 , which contribut...
