Effect of Network Architecture on Synchronization and Entrainment Properties of the Circadian Oscillations in the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus

(A) Concentration of and
in different cells. The cell is isolated and entrained by light until
, then the number of oscillations (pseudo-cycles) is measured until the relative amplitude is lower than 0.1. (B) Distribution of oscillating and damped cells depending on the parameter variability
. ‘Not Osc.’ stands for ‘Not Oscillating’ (see Models). (C) Mean and standard deviation of the pseudo-period of individual cells for different values of

: more than one third of the cells show sustained oscillations and the others display from 5 to 20 pseudo-cycles. (E) Distribution of the pseudo-periods for
for the oscillating and damped cells (see Models).
