Our paper on the role of sites of plasticity published in Current Biology

Highlights:

1. Loss of the presumed major sites of circadian output does not affect circadian rhythms
2. Loss of these sites prevents the normal entrainment of rhythms to temperature cycles
3. Plastic neural structures mediate glutamatergic clock inputs in mammals and insects
4. Structural changes likely alter the strength of sensory inputs to clock neurons
