✦ Synopsis

The microelectrode technique was used to follow oscillations in membrane potential in mesophyll cells of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) during exposure do different photoperiodic conditions. Both high-frequency oscillations and circadian variations were observed. The circadian rhythm was imposed on the period of high-frequency oscillation during short days as well as in continuous light: The freerunning period was 25.2 h. The average period of high-frequency oscillation increased from 7.64 min in the dark to 19.95 rain in the light within several minutes after dark to light transition. This period length coincides with the established period length for oscillations in the redox potential in the chloroplast suspensions of spinach.

This paper summarizes in a nonmathematical way the major properties of coupled oscillators which relate to circadian rhythms. For certain values of the coupling strength it is far easier to maintain synchrony than to achieve it among the various interacting units. This property not only simulates th

The firing of a proportion of neurons in the in vivo perirhinal cortex, a brain region involved in object recognition memory, has recently been shown to be synchronized with hippocampal theta activity. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether neurons located in perirhinal cortex hav
