Clock genes, oscillators, and cellular networks in the suprachiasmatic nuclei.

abstract：:Rats anticipate a fixed daily feeding time by entrainment of a component of their multioscillatory circadian system. The range of stimuli capable of entraining this component is little studied. Previous studies suggest that restricted water access is not an effective entrainment stimulus, as measured by general locomo...
