Output signals of the SCN.

Abstract:

:The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus controls circadian rhythmicity in mammals (for reviews, see Refs. 33 and 59). Responses modulated by the SCN are numerous and include rhythms in sleep/wake cycles, locomotor, gnawing and general activity, temperature, ingestive behavior, and rhythms of hormonal and peptide secretions. Though a great deal is known about the neuroanatomical organization of the SCN, many elements of the structure-function relationships remain to be discovered. For example, it is not known which cellular components of the SCN function as driving pacemakers or which output signal(s) of these pacemakers are important for each of its functions. While some signals from pacemaker cells reach target regions by neural efferents, there is also evidence that rhythmic responses can be controlled by diffusible signals. This article reviews output signals from the SCN. The data available suggest that neural efferents are not necessary for the control of locomotor activity rhythms. Evidence that a diffusible signal is sufficient to restore activity rhythms in SCN-lesioned animals is described. Finally, possible physiological mechanisms for diffusible signals are suggested.
