“…Limitations of this study include possible effects of cerebellar organization (e.g., zebrin II expression banding), use of pups from postnatal days 0 to 3 prior to cerebellar network development, and potential light contamination during dark phase experiments. The second study (Frederick, Bourget‐Murray, Chapman, Amir, & Courtemanche, ) examined day–night differences in local field potential (LFP) oscillations in the rat cerebellum and striatum through dopaminergic mechanisms based on evidence that rhythms of dopamine levels (Ferris et al., ; Hood et al., ; Owasoyo, Walker, & Whitworth, ) and expression of D2 receptors are linked with expression of Per2 (Gravotta, Gavrila, Hood, & Amir, ; Hood et al., ). The coherence of oscillations of these regions was explored because of their cooperative role in sensory motor control and locomotor regulation.…”
