Regulation of circadian rhythm through SCN and non-SCN factors
It is well known that the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is the master clock in mammals, however, how the SCN signals to other brain areas to regulate circadian rhythms is not yet known. The first two chapters in this thesis explore potential SCN output signals that may serve to entrain slave oscilla...
