These findings in cry1,2 -/-mice contrast with the findings of sleep studies in animals that are rendered arrhythmic by lesioning of the SCN.
Thus, in both nocturnal and diurnal species, per expression in the cortex is maximal in conjunction with the major waking episode [ 37 49 50 ] . Under conditions where the phase (methamphetamine administration, restricted feeding) or distribution (circadian splitting) of locomotor activity is altered, per expression in the cortex parallels the overt rhythm of wakefulness, whereas the circadian oscillation of per gene expression in the SCN remains unaffected [ 49 51 52 ] . Thus, in contrast to its role in the SCN, PER protein in the cortex is not a component of a self-sustaining circadian oscillator [ 53 ] . Instead, per expression in the cortex seems to the follow sleep-wake history, consistent with the hypothesis that it is related to homeostatic regulation of sleep.
Optical imaging of neural activity evoked by electrical stimulation in the cultured rat suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) revealed that the spread of depolarization was inhibited by gap junction blockers (halothane, octanol) but not by a blocker of voltage-depended Na +channels.
As a matter of fact it was suggested that the gap junction coupling state between neurons in SCN is not static but dynamically regulated by the GABA A receptor system [ 14 ] . Also in vitro guinea-pig brain preparation prolonged seizure-like activity elicited using a brief application of bicuculline was abolished by the GJ channel blockers octanol and glycyrrhetinic acid as well as by intracellular acidification [ 16 ] .
In addition, we have found (see below) that nocturnin is expressed in multiple brain regions including the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), the site of the central circadian oscillator controlling behavioral rhythmicity [ 26].
