Modeling the seasonal adaptation of circadian clocks by changes in the network structure of the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
The dynamics of circadian rhythms needs to be adapted to day length changes between summer and winter. It has been observed experimentally, however, that the dynamics of individual neurons of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) does not change as the seasons change. Rather, the seasonal adaptation of...
