A recent article by Gizowski and Bourque shows that vasopressinergic (VP) neurons within the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) master circadian clock have the ability of encoding afferent input from osmosensors and generating appropriate homeostatic responses, suggesting that SCN neurons can integrate internal circadian time and acute changes in homeostatic markers.

加压素神经元：时间和体内平衡的主要整合者

Gizowski 和 Bourque 最近的一篇文章表明，视交叉上核 (SCN) 主生物钟内的血管加压素 (VP) 神经元能够编码来自渗透传感器的传入输入并产生适当的稳态反应，这表明 SCN 神经元可以整合内部昼夜节律时间和急性稳态标志物的变化。
