Vasopressin Neurons: Master Integrators of Time and Homeostasis

Ivana L Bussi et al. Trends Neurosci. 2020 Nov.

Abstract

A recent article by Gizowski and Bourque shows that vasopressinergic (VP) neurons within the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) master circadian clock have the ability of encoding afferent input from osmosensors and generating appropriate homeostatic responses, suggesting that SCN neurons can integrate internal circadian time and acute changes in homeostatic markers.

Keywords: circadian; internal sensors; internal time; osmosensing; suprachiasmatic nucleus.
