DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2017.10.045
Abstract: The suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), the site of the mammalian circadian (daily) pacemaker, contains thousands of interconnected neurons, some of which receive direct retinal input. Here, we study the fast ( read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2019.02.068
Abstract: Clock neurons within the mammalian suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) encode circadian time using interlocked transcription-translation feedback loops (TTFLs) that drive rhythmic gene expression. However, the contributions of other transcription factors outside of the circadian TTFLs to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2018.06.029
Abstract: The mammalian suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) functions as a master circadian pacemaker, integrating environmental input to align physiological and behavioral rhythms to local time cues. Approximately 10% of SCN neurons express vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP); however,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2215410119
Abstract: We appreciate that Sharifpour et al. (1) took the effort to start a scientific discussion and hope we can clarify issues. In their paper, it is argued that light response measurements of the SCN, as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1674-1056/acd7ce
Abstract: Exposed to the natural light-dark cycle, 24 h rhythms exist in behavioral and physiological processes of living beings. Interestingly, under constant darkness or constant light, living beings can maintain a robust endogenous rhythm with a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ejn.15442
Abstract: Circadian clocks play key roles in how organisms respond to and even anticipate seasonal change in day length, or photoperiod. In mammals, photoperiod is encoded by the central circadian pacemaker in the brain, the suprachiasmatic… read more here.
