Plasticity of hamster circadian entrainment patterns depends on light intensity.
The multiple oscillatory basis of the mammalian circadian pacemaker is adduced by, among other phenomena, the occurrence of split locomotor activity rhythms in rodents after prolonged exposure to constant light. More recently, split rhythms entrained to a 24h light:dark:light:dark cycle have been documented following scheduled access of hamsters to a novel running wheel or by photoperiod manipu...
متن کاملAccuracy of circadian entrainment under fluctuating light conditions: contributions of phase and period responses.
The accuracy with which a circadian pacemaker can entrain to an environmental 24-h zeitgeber signal depends on (a) characteristics of the entraining signal and (b) response characteristics and intrinsic stability of the pacemaker itself. Position of the sun, weather conditions, shades, and behavioral variations (eye closure, burrowing) all modulate the light signal reaching the pacemaker. A sim...
متن کاملAccuracy of human circadian entrainment under natural light conditions: model simulations.
The patterns of light intensity to which humans expose their circadian pacemakers in daily life are very irregular and vary greatly from day to day. The circadian pacemaker can adjust to such irregular exposure patterns by daily phase shifts, such as summarized in a phase response curve. It is demonstrated in this paper on the basis of computer simulations applying actually recorded human light...
متن کاملTransgenerational phenotypic plasticity under future atmospheric conditions
Edward B. Mondor,* Michelle N. Tremblay and Richard L. Lindroth Department of Entomology, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA *Correspondence: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Organisms often exhibit transgenerational phenotypic changes in response to an increased risk of parasitism or predation. Shifts in global atmospheric composition could modify these phenotypic effec...
متن کاملCoupling governs entrainment range of circadian clocks
Circadian clocks are endogenous oscillators driving daily rhythms in physiology and behavior. Synchronization of these timers to environmental light-dark cycles ('entrainment') is crucial for an organism's fitness. Little is known about which oscillator qualities determine entrainment, i.e., entrainment range, phase and amplitude. In a systematic theoretical and experimental study, we uncovered...
