Summary
This poster followed circadian temperature development in group-housed wild-type and Kcna1-knockout mice. From postnatal day 20 to 76, rhythm amplitude and day-to-day stability increased, while average temperature declined in males but not females; knockout mice maintained temperatures about 0.6-0.8 °C above littermates before seizure-related death. The UID Mouse Matrix used implanted UCT-2112 RFID temperature chips to record identity, cage zone, and temperature every minute.
