Hi guys, it has been suggested that we look at the work carried out by A.J Harmar. I've have a quick look and there has been quite a lot of research into food anticipation and which peptides can reset the central and peripheral clocks. I'll try and cover the experiments showing food anticipation resetting of the SCN if someone else can cover resetting of the peripheral clocks/FEO???! thanks! fee [[User:Fiona E Graham|Fiona E Graham]] 17:57, 9 November 2010 (UTC) | Hi guys, it has been suggested that we look at the work carried out by A.J Harmar.

Good stuff here - but be careful, and don't jump to conclusions. Melatonin is secreted at night. This is true in nocturnal animals as well as in diurnal animals. However the effects of melatonin differ. [[User:Gareth Leng|Gareth Leng]] 14:28, 13 November 2010 (UTC) | |||
The paragraph on Clock genes is still pretty telegrammatic (I've cleaned it a bit). The key point which is not brought out is how the delays in transcription and translation contribute to the generation of a 24-hour rhythm. | |||
Exactly how do you measure food anticipatory activity? - maybe you should look at Louise Johnstone's paper in Cell Metabolism of a couple of years ago. | |||

Related articles
You'll see that on the Related articles subpage I've placed links to all the articles from the other groups this year - and also to last year's articles. Good luck with this, I'm seeing some reference lists come up, but not here yet, hope there's no problems.Gareth Leng 15:56, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi guys, you're the only group that hasn't got anything done on their article yet, you don't even seem to communicate on the Talk page, is everything allright? Nancy Sabatier 08:38, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
Am I not allowed to add graphs that i've taken and adapted from journals???
- Yes, you're allowed a) to use figures that you've adapted yourself provided you acknowledge the original source. b) You can also use unadapted figures if they've appeared in certain Open Access Journals, with full acknowledgement. (Rosie, please remember to sign your name with four tildes after your posts on this page, so we can see who's written it)Gareth Leng 16:26, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
Good to see you starting. You seem to have lost a bit of text along the way. I've shown examples of linking and italics.Gareth Leng 16:48, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
Noting good work from Rosie and Laura here.Gareth Leng 14:52, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
There's a lot of good work here, but check you don't have a word limit (I don't think you do). John Menzies 14:23, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
Great work so far, well done. Be careful however with your Clock Genes paragraph, I know this is still a rough draft but this paragraph is difficult to read, remember this is meant to be an encyclopedia-type article. Nancy Sabatier 11:39, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
I sense you're struggling here. You need to get the Clock Genes paragraph sorted and very clear; this is the key intracellular molecular clockwork. You need to understand how this mechanism is regulated (by afferent inputs carrying signals from the retina and elsewhere) and how this mechanism is related to the output of the SCN neurons -(big hole here).
Then there is the circadian regulation of appetite - how does this relate to the SCN. What's the key evidence here - where are the powerful experiments?Gareth Leng 16:10, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
