Atypical behavioral and thermoregulatory circadian rhythms in mice lacking a microbiome

Abstract Trillions of microbial oscillators reside throughout the mammalian body, yet their contributions toward fundamental features of host circadian rhythms (CRs) have not been characterized. Here, we demonstrate that the microbiome contributes to host CRs in activity and thermoregulation. Mice d...
