Journal ArticleDOI

Ultrastructural plasticity in the rat suprachiasmatic nucleus. Possible involvement in clock entrainment.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the SCN undergoes rhythmic ultrastructural rearrangements over the 24‐h cycle characterized by day/night changes of the glial, axon terminal, and/or somato‐dendritic coverage of neurons expressing arginine vasopressin (AVP) or vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), the two main sources of SCN efferents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Central inflammation and sickness-like behavior induced by the food contaminant deoxynivalenol: a PGE2-independent mechanism.

TL;DR: It is shown that the toxin concomitantly affects feeding behavior, body temperature, and locomotor activity after both per os and central administration and reveals that, despite strong similarities, behavioral changes observed after DON intoxication differ from classical sickness behavior evoked by inflammatory cytokines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Daily changes in synaptic innervation of VIP neurons in the rat suprachiasmatic nucleus: contribution of glutamatergic afferents

TL;DR: Data show that the light synchronization process in the SCN involves a selective remodelling of synapses at sites of photic integration, providing a further illustration of how the adult brain may rapidly and reversibly adapt its synaptic architecture to functional needs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroglial and synaptic rearrangements associated with photic entrainment of the circadian clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus

TL;DR: Experimental data providing strong indication that these plastic events may subserve synchronization of the clock to the light–dark cycle and that the daily fluctuations of plasma glucocorticoid hormones may act as temporal endocrine signals that may modulate SCN neuroglial plasticity through the rhythmic release of serotonin are also reviewed.
