The mechanism whereby brief light exposure resets the mammalian circadian clock in a phase dependent manner is not known, but is thought to involvePergene expression. At the behavioural level, a light pulse produces phase delays in early subjective night, phase advances in late subjective night, and no phase shifts in mid‐subjective night or subjective day. To understand the relationship betweenPergene activity and behavioural phase shifts, we examined light‐inducedmPer1andmPer2expression in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the mouse, in the subjective night, with a view to understanding SCN heterogeneity. In theVIP‐containing region of the SCN (termed ‘core’), light‐inducedmPer1expression occurs at all times of the subjective night, whilemPer2induction is seen only in early subjective night. In the remaining regions of the SCN (termed ‘shell’), a phase delaying light pulse produces nomPer1but significantmPer2expression, while a phase advancing light pulse produces nomPer2but substantialmPer1induction. Moreover, following a light pulse during mid‐subjective night, neithermPer1normPer2are induced in the shell. The results reveal that behavioural phase shifts occur only when light‐inducedPergene expression spreads from the core to the shell SCN, withmPer1expression in shell corresponding to phase advances, andmPer2corresponding to phase delays. The results indicate that the time course and the localization of light‐inducedPergene expression in SCN reveals important aspects of intra‐SCN communication.
