Short circuiting the circadian system with a new generation of precision tools
Abstract
Circadian behavior in mammals is coordinated by neurons within the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). In this issue, Lee et al. (2015) and Mieda et al. (2015) applied state-of-the-art genetic tools to dissect the microcircuits within the SCN generating circadian rhythmic behavior.
