Neuron. 2023 Jul 19;111(14):2119-2120. doi: 10.1016/j.neuron.2023.06.022.

Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Xie et al.1 highlight a role of cholecystokinin (CCK) neurons in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) central clock for tracking the onset of circadian activities, adapting circadian rhythms to long photoperiods, and regulating circadian phase resetting.
