Neuromedin S-Producing Neurons Act as Essential Pacemakers in the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus to Couple Clock Neurons and Dictate Circadian Rhythms
Circadian behavior in mammals is orchestrated by neurons within the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), yet the neuronal population necessary for the generation of timekeeping remains unknown. We show that a subset of SCN neurons expressing the neuropeptide neuromedin S (NMS) plays an essential role in the generation of daily rhythms in behavior. We demonstrate that lengthening period within Nms neu...
متن کاملIndividual neurons dissociated from rat suprachiasmatic nucleus express independently phased circadian firing rhythms
Within the mammalian hypothalamus, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) contains a circadian clock for timing of diverse neuronal, endocrine, and behavioral rhythms. By culturing cells from neonatal rat SCN on fixed microelectrode arrays, we have been able to record spontaneous action potentials from individual SCN neurons for days or weeks, revealing prominent circadian rhythms in firing rate. De...
متن کاملCircadian and ultradian rhythms of clock gene expression in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of freely moving mice
In mammals, the temporal order of physiology and behavior is primarily regulated by the circadian pacemaker located in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Rhythms are generated in cells by an auto-regulatory transcription/translation feedback loop, composed of several clock genes and their protein products. Taking advantage of bioluminescence reporters, we have succeeded in continuo...
متن کاملOntogeny of Circadian Rhythms and Synchrony in the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus.
In mammals, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus coordinates daily rhythms including sleep-wake, hormone release, and gene expression. The cells of the SCN must synchronize to each other to drive these circadian rhythms in the rest of the body. The ontogeny of circadian cycling and intercellular coupling in the SCN remains poorly understood. Recent in vitro studies have recorde...
متن کاملSuprachiasmatic nucleus clock time in the mammalian circadian system.
The integration of time from gene to system levels is an exciting feature of circadian biology. In mammals, clock cells in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) generate time by an autoregulatory transcription-(post)translational feedback loop. Clock activity in the SCN neurons is expressed as activity-dependent electric signals, which are coupled to those of other SCN neurons. The SCN spreads the ...
