Murine circadian patterns of eating and drinking behaviors revisited: rhythmometric analyses and neuro-ethological comments.
This research dealt with rhythmometric methods for estimating the main circadian parameters characterizing the temporal structure of feeding activities in the mouse. Such experiments provide a quantitative approach for studying some neurobiological mechanisms regulating the feeding behaviors. These basic motivational manifestations would appear to be modulated by the circadian fluctuations of vigilance.
