Experiment 2. Representative autoradiogram images of Per1, Per2, and Bmal1 mRNA (in situ hybridization) in the PFC (coronal section) and SCN (ventral portion of coronal section) of in-phase CORT and antiphasic CORT-treated rats across 4 times of day (ZT0, ZT6, ZT12, and ZT18). Note the absent or phase shifted relationships of diurnal clock gene expression in the PFC of antiphasic CORT rats compared with in-phase CORT rats but similar phase relationships of both treatment groups in the SCN.
