Summary Suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN)‐lesioned rats which had received a fetal SCN graft were kept in constant red light for three months. After this period it was examined whether those rats that showed a recovered free‐running circadian rhythm could be entrained to light/dark cycles. To this end, they were subjected to a 12 h light/12 h dark schedule, followed by a 12 h light shift and again to dark conditions. In addition, the same regime was imposed on SCN‐grafted rats without recovered circadian rhythms and on sham‐grafted animals with a lesion, which were studied as controls. The presence of an SCN graft was identified immunocytochemically by the presence of vasopressin, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and somatostatin cells. Drinking, eating and wheel‐running rhythms were found to synchronize to the light/dark cycles in all rats, not with standing the presence of an SCN graft was. A 12 h light shift was immediately followed by a shift in the three rhythms. Under final dark conditions, free‐runnin...
