The resetting of the circadian clock based on photic cues delivered by the glutamatergic retinohypothalamic tract is an important process helping mammals to function adaptively to the daily light–dark cycle. To see if the photic resetting relies on voltage‐gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs), we examined the effects of VGCC blockers on the glutamate‐induced phase shifts of circadian firing activity rhythms of suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) neurons in hypothalamic slices. First, we found that a cocktail…

Histamine resets the circadian clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus through the H1R‐CaV1.3‐RyR pathway in the mouse
TLDR
Results indicate that, to reset the circadian clock, histamine increases [Ca2+]i in SCN neurons by activating CaV1.3 channels through H1R, and secondarily by causing Ca2-‐induced Ca2+ release from RyR‐mediated internal stores.
A Specific Role for the REV-ERBα–Controlled L-Type Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel CaV1.2 in Resetting the Circadian Clock in the Late Night
TLDR
A role of the L-type VGCC Cav1.2 in mediating both clock gene expression and phase advances in response to a light pulse in the late night is revealed.

TLDR
Results indicate that, to reset the circadian clock, histamine increases [Ca]i in SCN neurons by activating CaV1.3 channels through H1R, and secondarily by causing Ca -induced Ca release from RyR-mediated internal stores.

Role for the NR2B subunit of the N‐methyl‐d‐aspartate receptor in mediating light input to the circadian system
TLDR
Results demonstrate that the NR2B subunit is an important component of NMDA receptor‐mediated responses within SCN neurons and that this subunit contributes to light‐induced phase shifts of the mammalian circadian system.
Ryanodine receptor Ca2+‐release channels are an output pathway for the circadian clock in the rat suprachiasmatic nuclei
TLDR
It is concluded that gating of RyRs is a key element of the intricate output pathway from the circadian clock within SCN neurons in rats.
Circadian Regulation and Function of Voltage-Dependent Calcium Channels in the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus
TLDR
Interestingly, both rat SCN and SCN2.2 cells showed rhythmic expression of P/Q- and T-type channels, raising the possibility that the circadian regulation of VDCC activity may play an important role in maintaining rhythmic clock gene expression across an ensemble of SCN oscillators.
Circadian regulation of ion channels and their functions
TLDR
Through more investigation and understanding of the circadian regulation of ion channels, the future development of therapeutic strategies for the treatment of sleep disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and other illnesses linked to circadian misalignment will benefit.
Linking neural activity and molecular oscillations in the SCN
TLDR
Current understanding of the ionic and molecular mechanisms that drive the rhythmic firing patterns in the SCN are reviewed, finding the strongest evidence for persistent Na+ currents.

The results reveal that PACAP is a significant component of the Glu-mediated light-entrainment pathway and may encode the amplitude of adaptive circadian behavioral responses to the natural range of intensities of nocturnal light.

TLDR
The results suggest that PKG activity is necessary, but not sufficient, for normal photic responsiveness and that PKA activity is not required, and supports the notion that photic entrainment is influenced by biochemical pathways that differentially regulate sensitivity in a phase-dependent manner.

The present experiments provide further evidence that EAA receptors mediate the effects of light on the circadian system, and suggest that both NMDA and non-NMDA receptor types may be involved.
Calcium plays a central role in phase shifting the ocular circadian pacemaker of Aplysia
TLDR
Low calcium treatments were found to cause phase shifts which resembled those produced by the transmitter serotonin, and these results are consistent with a model in which serotonin phase shifts the ocular pacemaker by decreasing a transmembrane calcium flux through membrane hyperpolarization while light-induced phase shifts are mediated by an increase in calcium flux.

TLDR
Changing patterns of sensitivities demonstrate that the circadian clock controls multiple intracellular gates, which ensures that they can be opened selectively only at specific points in the circadian cycle.
