abstract：:Lithium treatment lengthens the period of circadian rhythms in most organisms. In the present study, we tested whether lithium acts directly on the mammalian suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) to lengthen rhythms of individual neurons. Lithium increased the circadian period of firing rate rhythms of cultured SCN neurons in...
