Summary
This poster tested whether fasting-induced or chemogenetically induced torpor resets the circadian clock in mice. Wheel-running and core-temperature records in constant darkness showed that neither form changed the intrinsic daily period, indicating the clock continued through profound cooling, but arousal consistently advanced behavioral phase relative to each animal's control condition. UID UCT-2112 temperature microchips supplied continuous core-temperature data.
