Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: Daily adaptation of metabolic activity to light-dark cycles to maintain homeostasis is controlled by hypothalamic nuclei receiving information from the retina and from nutritional inputs that vary according to feeding cycles.

In Synch but Not in Step: Circadian Clock Circuits Regulating Plasticity in Daily Rhythms [PDF]
, 2016 The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is a network of neural oscillators that program daily rhythms in mammalian behavior and physiology. Over the last decade much has been learned about how SCN clock neurons coordinate together in time and space to form a ...

Chronic alcohol consumption and withdrawal do not induce cell death in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, but lead to irreversible depression of peptide immunoreactivity and mRNA levels [PDF]
, 1997 There is evidence that chronic ethanol treatment (CET) disrupts the biological rhythms of various brain functions and behaviors. Because the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is widely recognized as the dominant pacemaker of the circadian system, we have ...

Circadian rhythm of PERIOD2::LUCIFERASE expression in the trigeminal ganglion of mice
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 IntroductionThe trigeminal nerve conveys delicate sensations such as warmth, pain, and tactile pressure in the oral and facial regions, and most trigeminal afferent cell bodies are located in the trigeminal ganglion.

Shell Neurons of the Master Circadian Clock Coordinate the Phase of Tissue Clocks Throughout the Brain and Body [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Daily rhythms in mammals are programmed by a master clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). The SCN contains two main compartments (shell and core), but the role of each region in system-level coordination remains ill defined.

Circadian rhythms and hormonal homeostasis: Pathophysiological implications [PDF]
, 2017 Over recent years, a deeper comprehension of the molecular mechanisms that control biological clocks and circadian rhythms has been achieved. In fact, many studies have contributed to unravelling the importance of the molecular clock for the regulation ...

Paradoxical Sleep Suppresses Immediate Early Gene Expression in the Rodent Suprachiasmatic Nuclei
Frontiers in Neurology, 2010 Light stimulates neuronal activity with subsequent expression of the protein product of the immediate early gene, c-fos, in the Suprachiasmatic Nuclei (SCN). Non-photic stimuli is also thought to modulate activity within the SCN.

The Circadian Clock Gene Period1 Connects the Molecular Clock to Neural Activity in the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus. [PDF]
, 2015 The neural activity patterns of suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) neurons are dynamically regulated throughout the circadian cycle with highest levels of spontaneous action potentials during the day.

Modulating effect of irisin on the functional state of inhibitory afferent inputs to the suprachiasmatic nucleus from the arcuate nucleus [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesIn vitro experiments on viable hypothalamic slices of male Wistar rats, the modulating effect of the myokine irisin on the parameters of inhibitory responses of neurons in the suprachiasmatic nucleus to stimulation of the arcuate nucleus was studied.
