Synchronization-induced rhythmicity of circadian oscillators in the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2007 The suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) host a robust, self-sustained circadian pacemaker that coordinates physiological rhythms with the daily changes in the environment.

The neurochemical basis of photic entrainment of the circadian pacemaker [PDF]
Circadian rhythmicity in mammals is controlled by the action of a light-entrainable hypothalamus, in association with two cell clusters known as the supra chiasmatic nuclei (SCN).

Viral Vector-based Improvement of Optic Nerve Regeneration: Characterization of Individual Axons\u27 Growth Patterns and Synaptogenesis in a Visual Target [PDF]
, 2015 Lack of axon growth ability in the central nervous system poses a major barrier to achieving functional connectivity after injury. Thus, a non-transgenic regenerative approach to reinnervating targets has important implications in clinical and research ...

The circadian system alters thermoregulation depending on the time of day and feeding condition [PDF]
, 2009 The circadian rhythm of body temperature (Tb) is a well-known phenomenon. However, it is unknown how the circadian system affects thermoregulation. Food deprivation in mice induces a greater reduction of Tb particularly in the light phase.

Alpha-synuclein expression in oxytocin neurons of young and old bovine brains
The Journal of Reproduction and DevelopmentUnderstanding of central nervous system mechanisms underlying age-related infertility remains limited. Fibril α-synuclein, distinct from its monomeric form, is implicated in age-related diseases. Notably, fibril α-synuclein spreads among neurons,

EVOLUTION OF THE CIRCADIAN CLOCK IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENT: LESSONS FROM CAVEFISH. [PDF]
, 2010 Evolution has been strongly influenced by the daily cycles of temperature and light imposed by the rotation of the Earth. Fascinating demonstrations of this are seen in extreme environments such as caves where some animals have remained completely ...

Investigating the Relationship Between Circadian Rhythm and Learning-Memory
Türk Uyku Tıbbı DergisiThe circadian rhythm creates many metabolic changes in our body by influencing the activities of suprachiasmatic nucleus and other centers in the cerebrum according to the light-dark conditions within a 24-hour period.
