Phase Shifting Capacity of the Circadian Pacemaker Determined by the SCN Neuronal Network Organization
BACKGROUND: In mammals, a major circadian pacemaker that drives daily rhythms is located in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), at the base of the hypothalamus. The SCN receive direct light input via the retino-hypothalamic tract. Light during the early night induces phase delays of circadian rhythms...
