An experiment was conducted to determine whether meal-associated rhythms could be demonstrated to persist in SCN-lesioned rats. A previously used paradigm in which periods of deprivation were alternated with ad lib food availability was used. Evidence for persistent wheel-running and drinking rhythms was observed in SCN-lesioned rats. It was concluded that meal-associated rhythms are associated with an endogenous oscillator distinct from the SCN and that it may not entirely subservient to the SCN-based oscillator in intact rats.
进行了一项实验，以确定与进食相关的节律在SCN损伤的大鼠中是否能被证明持续存在。采用了一种先前使用的范式，即剥夺期与自由进食期交替进行。在SCN损伤的大鼠中观察到持续的轮转运动和饮水节律的证据。得出的结论是，与进食相关的节律与一个不同于SCN的内源性振荡器有关，并且在完整大鼠中它可能并不完全服从于基于SCN的振荡器。
