Abstract:Endogenous programs in avian reproductive seasonal life history transitions have been known for over 30 years. Attempts to identify the neural and molecular substrates of photoperiodic time measurement have, to date, focussed on blunt changes in light exposure during a restricted period of photoinducibility. Here we report mediobasal hypothalamus (MBH) and pituitary gland specific transcript expression cascades associated with photoperiod-induced seasonal life history transitions. We identified multiple waves … Show more
