Photoperiod-Induced Neurotransmitter Switching in the Circadian Pacemaker Regulates Hypothalamic Dopamine Expression
2020-06-17
Abstract excerpt
Light, circadian clocks, and rhythmic behaviors interact closely to produce a temporal order that is essential for the survival of most living organisms. In mammals, the principal circadian pacemaker in the brain is the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which receives direct retinal input and synchronizes itself and other brain regions to the external light-dark cycle. Altered day length (photoperiod) and disrupted c...
