Adrenal glucocorticoids are major modulators of multiple functions, including energy
metabolism, stress responses, immunity, and cognition. The endogenous secretion of …

The pineal hormone melatonin is involved in photic regulations of various kinds, including …

The pacemaker role of the suprachiasmatic nucleus in a mammalian circadian system was
tested by neural transplantation by using a mutant strain of hamster that shows a short …

Human brain consists of millions of neurons which are playing an important role for
controlling behavior of human body with respect to internal/external motor/sensory stimuli …

Learning an input-output mapping from a set of examples, of the type that many neural
networks have been constructed to perform, can be regarded as synthesizing an …

The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus is the site of the master circadian
pacemaker in mammals. The individual cells of the SCN are capable of functioning …

The circadian timing of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is modulated by its neural inputs.
In the present study, we examine the organization of the neural inputs to the rat SCN using …

The comparative distributions of the vasopressin V1b receptor (V1bR) and the oxytocin
receptor (OTR) messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are described in male rat brain using in situ …

The mammalian SCN contains a biological clock that drives remarkably precise circadian
rhythms in vivo and in vitro. This study asks whether the cycle-to-cycle variability of …

Grafts of fetal tissue including the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus
restore locomotor rhythmicity to behaviorally arrhythmic, SCN-lesioned Syrian hamsters. We …
