Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), the primary circadian pacemaker in mammals, is a network structure composed of multiple types of neurons. Here, we examined the possibility that functional molecular machinery of the circadian clocks only in AVP neurons and VIP neurons, two major neuron types of the SCN, is sufficient for the generation of circadian rhythms of the SCN and behavior, which was not supported by the experimental results. We also obtained several other results, including the observation of diurnal rhythms in the activity of AVP neurons and VIP neurons in SCN slices.
