Table 1.

Characterization of Clock Gene Expression in the Mouse BLA. (a) Comparison of cosinor analysis of the cyclic expression of 18 clock genes in basolateral amygdala (BLA) tissue between control (total of n = 49) and anhedonic (total of n = 30) mice). P values <.05 denote a statistically significant cosinor analysis fitted curve, indicating diurnally rhythmic gene expression. (b) Peak time, trough and amplitude of clock genes exhibiting diurnally rhythmic gene expression in the mouse BLA. (c) Comparison of BLA and suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) expression pattern of clock genes.
