Figure 4. Ablation of VIP neurons dampens the circadian rhythm in corticosterone.

Figure 4.

A) Average profile of fecal corticosterone levels over two days in constant darkness from mice with (blue) and without (magenta) SCN VIP neurons. Individual traces were phase-aligned to their first daily peak. (B) Loss of VIP neurons reduced daily average, (C) peak-to-trough amplitude of corticosterone and (D) maximum, (E) but did not change the daily minimum.
