Altered entrainment to the day/night cycle attenuates the daily rise in circulating corticosterone in the mouse.

Altered entrainment to the day/night cycle attenuates the daily rise in circulating corticosterone in the mouse.

The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is a circadian oscillator entrained to the day/night cycle via input from the retina. Serotonin (5-HT) afferents to the SCN modulate retinal signals via activation of 5-HT1B receptors, decreasing responsiveness to light. Consequently, 5-HT1B receptor knockout (KO) m...
