Disrupted circadian rhythms in the plateau pika

Trends Neurosci. 2023 Oct 4:S0166-2236(23)00221-7. doi: 10.1016/j.tins.2023.09.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) is the most populous mammal on the 'third pole', the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and is presumed to have inhabited the region before the plateau rose up from sea level. Herein we discuss the disrupted circadian rhythm in the plateau pika and the gene polymorphism behind this phenotype, placing these findings in the broader context of circadian rhythms under extreme conditions.PMID:37802756 | DOI:10.1016/j.tins.2023.09.003
