Rhythm properties of neonatal SCN in culture from the control, Chrono KO, Cry1/Cry2 deficient, and Cry1/Cry2/Chrono triple-KO mice. (A) Mean periods of PER2::LUC rhythms with standard deviations (SD) calculated by periodogram are shown as columns and vertical lines. A number in each column indicates number of SCN examined. (B) Mean standardized amplitude of PER2::LUC rhythms are expressed in a bar graph (mean ± SD). (C) Damping ratio of PER2::LUC rhythms is also shown in a bar graph (mean ± SD). Statistical comparisons, a; P < 0.05, aa; P < 0.01 vs. control, b; P < 0.05, bb; P < 0.01 vs.Chrono deficient mice, c; P < 0.05, cc; P < 0.01 vs. Cry1/Cry2 deficient mice (Kruskal–Wallis with a post-hoc Steel-test). (D) Peak phase of PER2::LUC rhythms in the 1^st day of culture is illustrated as Rayleigh plot. Blue dots indicate the peak times of individual rhythms. Red arrow in each circle indicates the mean circadian phase. A red circle is 95% confidence level. If an arrow extends over the red circle, the distribution of peak phases is regarded as significantly consolidated.
