Circadian clock functioning is linked to acute stress reactivity in rats.

abstract：:Entrainability of the circadian rhythm of mosquito flight and locomotor activity was investigated by giving a 24-hr temperature cycle (28 degrees C for 16 hr, 23 degrees C for 8 hr) to the free-running rhythm or by shifting the temperature cycle. The phase angle difference between the entrained rhythm and the temperat...
