Neuropeptides phase shift the mammalian circadian pacemaker.
We studied the influence on circadian rhythms of peptides that have been reported to be colocalized in suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) neurons. Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP1-27), peptide histidine isoleucine (PHI), and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) were microinjected into the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) region of Syrian hamsters free running under three different constant lighting c...
متن کاملPhase Resetting of the Mammalian Circadian Clock Relies on a Rapid Shift of a Small Population of Pacemaker Neurons
The circadian pacemaker of the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) contains a major pacemaker for 24 h rhythms that is synchronized to the external light-dark cycle. In response to a shift in the external cycle, neurons of the SCN resynchronize with different pace. We performed electrical activity recordings of the SCN of rats in vitro following a 6 hour delay of the light-dark cycle and observed a bi...
متن کاملGlutamate blocks serotonergic phase advances of the mammalian circadian pacemaker through AMPA and NMDA receptors.
The phase of the mammalian circadian pacemaker, located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), is modulated by a variety of stimuli, most notably the environmental light cycle. Light information is perceived by the circadian pacemaker through glutamate that is released from retinal ganglion cell terminals in the SCN. Other prominent modulatory inputs to the SCN include a serotonergic projection ...
متن کاملInhibitor of protein synthesis phase shifts a circadian pacemaker in mammalian SCN.
The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus contains a circadian pacemaker that regulates many circadian rhythms in mammals. Experimental work in microorganisms and invertebrates suggests that protein synthesis is required for the function of the circadian oscillator, and recent experiments in golden hamsters suggest an acute inhibition of protein synthesis can induce phase shifts in ...
متن کاملNeuropeptides go the distance for circadian synchrony.
S ynchronous activity is ubiquitous in natural systems and has fascinated the likes of engineers, mathematicians, and biologists (1). Although coordinated oscillations have been described among atoms, molecules, cells, and organisms on timescales from fractions of a second to years, our understanding of the mechanisms underlying synchrony is often limited. A study in PNAS (2) provides insights ...
