Article Synopsis
- In animals, circadian rhythms in physiology and behavior are governed by a brain circadian clock, which operates through single-cell oscillators and adapts based on environmental changes.
- Research on mouse neurons that express vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) shows that these neurons exhibit daily rhythms of fiber expansion and retraction, similar to those seen in fruit flies.
- These findings suggest that the structural changes in clock neurons are essential for maintaining the circadian rhythm and regulating responses to environmental factors throughout the day.
