Abstract
Single unit neuronal activity and glucose utilization were studied in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in hypothalamic slices from the golden hamster brain in vitro. An apparent circadian rhythm was observed both in SCN single unit activity and in glucose utilization. These observation indicate that the brain slice method is useful for the analysis of pacemaker function in hamster SCN.
