Localization of photoperiod responsive circadian oscillators in the mouse suprachiasmatic nucleus

Abstract The circadian pacemaker in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) yields photoperiodic response to transfer seasonal information to physiology and behavior. To identify the precise location involved in photoperiodic response in the SCN, we analyzed circadian Period1 and PERIOD2 rhythms in horizo...
