Summary
This paper investigates the role of dopamine neurons in the entrainment of circadian rhythms to daily feeding schedules, using mice with a mutation that results in a lack of a functioning retina and nearly all dopamine neurons.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of dopamine neurons and the retina in the entrainment of circadian rhythms, which are crucial for cognitive function and memory.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of dopamine, a hormone, in the entrainment of circadian rhythms.
Metabolism: The paper discusses the role of dopamine neurons in the entrainment of metabolic rhythms to daily feeding schedules.
