Circadian neurons in the paraventricular nucleus entrain and sustain daily rhythms in glucocorticoids

It is unclear how circadian signals from the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) are decoded to generate daily rhythms in hormone release. Here, the authors show that daily corticosterone release depends on coordinated clock gene and neuronal activity rhythms in both SCN and paraventricular nucleus neuron...
