Altered circadian food anticipatory activity rhythms in PACAP receptor 1 (PAC1) deficient mice
Summary:
This paper investigates the role of PACAP/PAC1 signaling in the light mediated regulation of food anticipatory activity (FAA) in mice, finding that PAC1-/- mice demonstrated an advanced onset of FAA with a nearly 3-fold increase in amplitude compared to PAC1+/+ mice.
Categories
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper investigates the role of PACAP/PAC1 signaling in the regulation of food anticipatory activity (FAA) in mice, which is a cognitive function.
- Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of PACAP/PAC1 signaling, which is a hormonal process, in the regulation of FAA in mice.
- Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the impact of different light conditions (full photoperiod and skeleton photoperiod at light intensities of either 300 lux or 10 lux) on the regulation of FAA in mice.
