In vitro studies of the role of cyclic-AMP in the mammalian circadian clock in the suprachiasmatic nuclei

The behavior and physiology of most organisms are organized into 24 hr rhythms that are produced by self-sustaining clocks located within the organisms. In mammals the primary circadian clock is located in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the brain. My research investigated the biochemical mechanisms underlying this clock, focusing in particular on the potential role of cAMP.
