- Clock genes are important for the function of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and also play roles in other brain areas; their expression has been studied in various species to understand their functions better.
- This study focused on the presence of clock genes Per1, Per2, and Cry1 in neurons of the substantia nigra (SN) and subthalamic nucleus (STN) in a diurnal primate, expanding beyond research mainly done on nocturnal rodents.
- Immunohistochemistry revealed significant presence of Per1 and Per2 in the SN and both these genes in the STN, while Cry1 was not detected in the STN, highlighting the role of these genes in areas linked to motor
