Student conference

Vasopressin Casts Light on Our Body Clock

By Olivia Elliott

EMS300 Student Conference 2026

Slide 1: Vasopressin casts light on our body clock. A full description follows.

1 of 7

Summary

The presentation explores the role of vasopressin in regulating the body's circadian clock, focusing on the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and its retinohypothalamic tract (RHT). It details a method for targeted manipulation of VP-RGCs using DREADD technology to study neuronal activation. Results indicate a validated approach for future behavioural studies aimed at altering the body clock, potentially addressing health risks linked to circadian rhythm disruptions. The audience likely includes researchers and professionals in neuroscience and chronobiology.
