This study identifies autonomous circadian timekeeping mechanisms in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the thalamus, showing intrinsic clock gene expression and light-entrainable oscillations in specific subregions.

The paper investigates how short-term high-fat diet affects circadian rhythms and neuronal activity in the rat nucleus of the solitary tract, impacting satiety control.

The paper shows that orexin A excites OPN neurons via OX2 receptor with higher responsiveness at night, and OPN firing increases during the day.

The paper shows that DMV neuronal activity varies daily and is modulated by diet, with high-fat diets paradoxically increasing daily variation but reducing responsiveness to metabolic neuromodulators.

The paper investigates daily orexinergic modulation of the rat superior colliculus, showing circadian coordination between orexin input and visual system activity.
