A long-standing and yet open question is whether the circadian system is involved in photoperiodism. A limited set of protocols were credited with the ability of answering this question. The most widely used are the so-called "resonance experiments". Recent models, however, showed how the working of
## Abstract The photoneuroendocrine circadian system of the brain consists of (a) specialized photoreceptors in the retina, (b) a circadian generator located in the forebrain that contains βclock genes,β (c) specialized nuclei in the forebrain involved in neuroendocrine secretion, and (d) the pinea
## Abstract The Syrian hamster Harderian gland (HG) is an organ continually exposed to oxidative stress caused by high concentrations of porphyric metabolites. According to previous studies, melatonin, which is rhythmically secreted by the pineal gland and tonically produced by the HG, antagonizes
## Abstract Repeated unilateral electrical stimulation of the amygdala in adult rats produces generalized seizures (kindling). New data indicate that kindling can be induced in both suckling rats between 15 and 18 days old and in rats, 34 to 72 days old. However, the expression of kindling differs
