Organization of the Human Circadian System.

Abstract

The overall objective of this project is to provide a detailed description of the organization of the primate, including the human, circadian timing system. The specific objectives for this project period were as follows: (1) Analyze the organization of the human retinohypothalamic tract (RHT); (2) Analyze the organization of the human suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN); (3) Analyze the organization of the macaque monkey SCN; (4) Analyze the distribution of retinal afferents to the macaque monkey intergeniculate leaflet (IGL) and the organization of its intrinsic neurons; (5) Analyze the organization of the human IGL; (6) Determine whether there is a human homologue of the rodent sexually dimorphic nucleus (SDN-POA).
