Summary

Single unit activity in rat supraoptic nucleus exhibits diurnal rhythms in firing rate and regularity. These rhythms are modulated by osmotic stimulation and pinealectomy, suggesting distinct coding mechanisms for different cell types.

Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation

The biological clock is involved in many aspects of regulating complex physiology in all animals. It was in 1935 when German zoologists, Hans Kalmus and Erwin Bünning, discovered the existence of circadian rhythm in Drosophila melanogaster. However, the internal molecular mechanisms behind the circadian clock remained a mystery until 1984, when Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young discovered the expression of the Per gene oscillating over a 24-hour cycle. In subsequent years,...
