## Abstract In this paper, we report the effects of daily injections of melatonin on the locomotor activity rhythm of the nocturnal field mouse __Mus booduga__. The locomotor activity rhythm of 45 animals was first monitored in constant darkness (DD) of the laboratory for about 15 days. The animals

The locomotor activity of the field mouse Mus booduga was monitored under continuous darkness (DD) for extended periods of 275 to 388 days. Free-running period (ฯ), activity time (ฮฑ) and rest time (ฯ) were computed from the activity records for all the animals (n = 10). Decreases in the circadian pe
## Abstract The effect of exogenous melatonin (1 mg/kg) on light pulse (LP) induced phase shifts of the circadian locomotor activity rhythm was studied in the nocturnal field mouse __Mus booduga__. Three phase response curves (PRCs: LP, control, and experimental) were constructed to study the effec
The circadian rhythm of locomotor activity in the nocturnal field mouse Mus booduga has been monitored after an exposure to ultraviolet-A (UV-A; wavelength between 350 and 400 nm) radiation at various hours of the subject's cycle. The magnitude of the phase shift is used to determine the sensitivity
