Abstract

Circadian behavior in mammals is coordinated by neurons within the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN).

  • Neurons in the SCN play a crucial role in regulating circadian rhythms.
  • Advanced genetic tools were employed to analyze the microcircuits within the SCN.
  • Understanding these circuits may enhance knowledge of how circadian rhythms are generated.
