Journal ArticleDOI
Resetting the biological clock: mediation of nocturnal circadian shifts by glutamate and NO
TL;DR: Data indicate that Glu release, NMDA receptor activation, NOS stimulation, and NO production link light activation of the retina to cellular changes within the SCN mediating the phase resetting of the biological clock.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial light interference microscopy (SLIM)
Zhuo Wang,Larry J. Millet,Mustafa Mir,Huafeng Ding,Sakulsuk Unarunotai,John A. Rogers,Martha U. Gillette,Gabriel Popescu +7 more
TL;DR: The spatial light interference microscopy (SLIM) as mentioned in this paper is a new optical microscopy technique, capable of measuring nanoscale structures and dynamics in live cells via interferometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Melatonin directly resets the rat suprachiasmatic circadian clock in vitro.
TL;DR: Melatonin can directly reset this circadian clock during the period surrounding the day-night transition, and is tested in a rat brain slice preparation maintained in vitro for 2-3 days.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Peptide (PACAP) in the Retinohypothalamic Tract: A Potential Daytime Regulator of the Biological Clock
Jens Hannibal,Jian M. Ding,Dong Chen,Jan Fahrenkrug,Philip J. Larsen,Martha U. Gillette,Jens D. Mikkelsen,Jens D. Mikkelsen +7 more
TL;DR: A new signaling pathway by which the RHT may regulate circadian timing in the daytime as well, through a cAMP-dependent pathway, which could be blocked by a specific cAMP antagonist, Rp-cAMPS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ca2+/cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB)-dependent activation of Per1 is required for light-induced signaling in the suprachiasmatic nucleus circadian clock.
Shelley A. Tischkau,Shelley A. Tischkau,Jennifer W. Mitchell,Sheue Houy Tyan,Sheue Houy Tyan,Gordon F. Buchanan,Martha U. Gillette +6 more
TL;DR: Ca2+/cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) and Per1 are integral components of the pathway transducing light-stimulated GLU neurotransmission into phase advance of the circadian clock.
