Entrainment range affected by the difference in sensitivity to light-information between two groups of SCN neurons |
Illustrative examples for the effects of q on the entrainment of the SCN exposed to the light–dark cycle of 22-h period. The value of q is q = 0.75 in panel (a), q = 1.25 in panel (b), and q = 1.75 in panel (c). The parameters are set as G = 0.1, L = 0.05, and p = 0.25. The grey region and the white region represent the night time and day time, respectively. |
