| Research Abstract |
Many animals have an ability to anticipate periodic food availability. In this study, we have examined the food anticipatory activity in circadian clock deficient mice. Some KO mice which have slightly differences in intrinsic circadian period show limited entrainment to various period of feeding ; the other molecular clock deficient mice do not. These results suggest that the canonical molecular clock may not drive food anticipatory behavioral activity, but may control it as a circadian manner.
