abstract：:Timing of the mammalian circadian clock of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is regulated by photic input from the retina. Retinorecipient units entrain rhythmicity of SCN pacemaker cells in part through their release of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP). The underlying nature of this process is conjectural, how...
