Abstract in Portuguese
Componente essencial do sistema de temporização circadiano, o núcleo supraquiasmático (NSQ) possui três aferências principais: o trato retinohipotalâmico (TRH), o trato geniculohipotalâmico (TGH) e as terminações serotonérgicas da rafe. Suas células possuem oscilação circadiana autônoma que resultam na expressão rítmica dos chamados genes do relógio. O presente estudo analisa as concentrações de 5-HT nos núcleos da rafe e NSQ de ratos em livre-curso e mostra que somente os núcleos obscuro e linear apresentam ritmos endógenos com ação determinante do ciclo claro-escuro na no ritmo diário; compara a organização intrínseca do NSQ de primatas e roedores, mostrando organização diferenciada dos terminais serotonérgicos e do TGH em relação aos do TRH sugerindo funções diferentes dessas aferências no NSQ de primatas. Além disso, o padrão de expressão dos genes do relógio no NSQ do primata ao longo do período de atividade mostrou que os genes BMAL1 e Per1 apresentam pico de expressão ao redor do ZT2 e o gene Per2 no ZT7. Os dados demonstram diferenças interespecíficas importantes nas características neuroquímicas e moleculares do NSQ.

Abstract in English
Essential component of the circadian timing system, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) receives dense retinohypothalamic RHT, geniculohypothalamic tract GHT and serotonergic innervation arriving from the raphe nuclei. SCN has pacemaker cells that produce rhythmic expression of clock genes. This study investigates the levels of 5-HT in the raphe nuclei and SCN in free running rats and shows endogenous rhythms in the obscurus and linear raphe nuclei, which is regulated by the daily light: dark cycle rhythms. The comparative analysis of the intrinsic structure of the SCN of primates and rodents shows a different organizational pattern of serotonergic and GHT terminals and the RHT terminals, suggesting different actions of serotonin and neuropeptide Y in the control of circadian rhythmicity in primates. Moreover, the pattern of the clock genes SCN expression along the awaken period in the primates show that BMAL1 and Per1 RNAm peaks of expression occur around ZT2 and Per2 around ZT7. These data suggest that the neural organization of the circadian timing system in the studied primate differ from those of the most commonly studied rodents.
