      hamster.
PG  - 81-4
AB  - The body temperature of individually housed golden hamsters was studied by 
      telemetry. Elimination of circadian rhythmicity by electrolytic lesions of the 
      suprachiasmatic nuclei of the hypothalamus (SCN) did not affect the mean level of 
      body temperature of animals maintained at 22, 12, or 6 degrees C. The range of 
      variation of body temperature around the mean level was also found not to differ 
      from that of intact animals that had the circadian component filtered out by a 
      subtractive moving-averages procedure. These results indicate that the SCN plays 
      no role in the homeostatic control of body temperature. The role of the SCN seems 
      to be limited to the generation of circadian rhythmicity that is superimposed on 
      the homeostatic process of temperature regulation.
