Abstract
The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the mammalian hypothalamus functi ons as a circadian pacemaker. This study used multimicroelectrode plat es to measure extracellular action potential activity simultaneously f rom multiple sites within the cultured mouse SCN. Neurons within the i solated mouse SCN expressed a circadian rhythm in spontaneous firing r ate for weeks in culture.
