In a new study featured on the cover of the journal Analytical Chemistry on October 17, 2023, a team of University of Maryland researchers used cutting-edge technologies to study a little-understood visual pathway in an animal model.
The research team set out to understand how the development of vision affects proteins in a part of the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which is considered the main circadian pacemaker in mammals because of its ability to regulate circadian rhythms in response to light.
