Cytochemical Organization of the Retino-Suprachiasmatic System.
Abstract
Due to the support of the AFOSR Chronobiology Program, we have been very productive; in the past year (1994/1994) with about 25 papers completed. Many of these focus on amino acid transmitters in the SCN and surrounding area. We are pursuing the hypothesis that glutamate and GABA constitute two primary transmitters in the SCN, with glutamate exerting excitatory actions, and GABA exerting depressing actions in the adult SCN. We are using combinations of immunocytochemistry, electron microscopy, molecular biology, and patch clamp recording to study the SCN.
