Circadian Chimeric Mice Reveal an Interplay Between the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus and Local Brain Clocks in the Control of Sleep and Memory

Sleep is regulated by circadian and homeostatic processes. Whereas the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is viewed as the principal mediator of circadian control, the contributions of sub-ordinate local circadian clocks distributed across the brain are unknown. To test whether the SCN and local brain cl...
