Talk: Synchronization of the Hippocampal circadian clock

2019.09.20 Speaker: Karolína Šuchmanová Date: 2019.09.20 (Fri.)  15:00-17:00 pm Location: 12F Conference room, Daan Campus, Taipei Medical University Abstract:  The daily regulation of behavioral and physiological processes, including memory formation, is maintained by the circadian system, consisting of principal clock in the suprachiasmatic nuclei of the hypothalamus, and peripheral clocks. Peripheral circadian clock has also been found in the […]
