Activation of NMDA receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus produces light-like phase shifts of the circadian clock in vivo.
TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that activation of NMDA receptors is a critical step in the transmission of photic information to the SCN resulted in circadian phase shifts, the size and direction of which were dependent on the time of injection.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that a clock-dependent peripheral oscillator, Krüppel-like factor 15 transcriptionally coordinates rhythmic expression of multiple enzymes involved in mammalian nitrogen homeostasis, which exhibits circadian rhythmicity, and is orchestrated by Kr Müppel- like factor 15.

Serotonergic regulation of circadian rhythms in Syrian hamsters.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that systemic injection of serotonergic agonists can alter circadian rhythms via action in the midbrain raphe nucleus is supported, and the phase shifts induced by microinjection of 8-OH-DPAT into the raphe nuclei are mediated by a neurotransmitter other than serotonin within the suprachiasmatic nucleus.

GABAA and GABAB agonists and antagonists alter the phase-shifting effects of light when microinjected into the suprachiasmatic region
TL;DR: Data indicate that changes in GABA(A) or GABA(B) activity within the SCN can alter the phase-shifting effects of light on circadian rhythms and support a role for GABA in gating photic input to the circadian clock.

Distribution of hypocretin-(orexin) immunoreactivity in the central nervous system of Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus).
TL;DR: The results in hamsters indicate that the organization of the hypocretin system is strongly conserved across species, suggesting an important role for the peptide and its projections.
