The suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the anterior hypothalamus contain the master circadian
pacemaker in mammals. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the discovery of the …

The primary mammalian circadian clock resides in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), a
recipient of dense retinohypothalamic innervation. In its most basic form, the circadian …

The suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), the central circadian pacemakers in mammals, comprise
a multiscale neuronal system that times daily events. We use recent advances in graphics …

The retina transduces photic stimuli and transmits that information centrally for further
processing. This review emphasizes the fact that the nervous system components governing …

Virtually every neuron within the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) communicates via
GABAergic signaling. The extracellular levels of GABA within the SCN are determined by a …

A chronobiotic is defined and levels of action within the mammalian circadian pacemaker
system, such as the retina, retinohypothalamic tract, geniculohypothalamic tract …

Between 5 and 20% of the adult population in Western countries suffer from insufficient
and/or unsatisfying sleep1, 2, often associated with certain psychiatric disorders or with …

The primary mammalian circadian clock, located in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN),
receives a major input from the raphe nuclei. The role of this input is largely unknown, and is …

We have investigated the effects of destruction of the geniculo-hypothalamic tract (GHT) on
the circadian system of golden hamsters. In the first experiment, intact hamsters were …

The circadian rhythm in mammals is under control of the pacemaker located in the
suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus. This tiny nucleus contains a number of …
