THE AREA POSTREMA: A POTENTIAL SITE FOR CIRCADIAN REGULATION BY PROKINETICIN 2

Little is known regarding the neurophysiological mechanisms by which the neuropeptide prokineticin 2 (PK2) regulates circadian rhythms. Using whole-cell electrophysiology, we have investigated a potential role for regulation of neuronal excitability by PK2 on neurons of the area postrema (AP), a med...
