This study shows that photoperiod modulates SK channel function in dorsal raphe serotonin neurons through post-transcriptional mechanisms, linking seasonal cues to mood-related behaviors.

The paper investigates how photoperiod affects SCN gene expression in mice, identifying key genes and pathways involved in circadian plasticity.

The paper shows DNA methylation in the SCN mediates light-induced circadian period after-effects, both from photoperiod changes and single light pulses.

The paper shows light adjusts the brain's circadian clock by altering molecular clockwaveforms in specific SCN regions to simulate dawn and dusk, enabling seasonal timekeeping.

The paper shows that optogenetic activation of VIPergic SCN neurons mimics the effects of extended photoperiod on circadian rhythms and behavior.

This study shows that photoperiod affects TREK-1 channel function and expression in dorsal raphe serotonergic neurons, influencing their excitability.

This study examines how different photoperiods affect gene expression and monoamine levels in the dopamine and serotonin systems across mouse development.

The paper investigates how different components of photoperiodic light influence circadian clock properties through behavioral and SCN measurements.
