Embryonic Development of the Circadian Clock of the Mammalian Suprachiasmatic Nuclei

Embryonic Development of the Circadian Clock of the Mammalian Suprachiasmatic Nuclei

In most species, self-sustained molecular clocks regulate 24-h rhythms of behavior and physiology. In mammals, a circadian pacemaker residing in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) receives photic signals from the retina and synchronizes subordinate clocks in non-SCN tissues. The emergenc...
