Using digital techniques for signal analysis.sbd.the correlogram and a high-resolution analysis of time series, maximum-entropy spectral analysis (MESA).sbd.we have detected both circadian and ultradian rhythms in the locomotor activity of free-running per0 males and in females lacking the per locus (per-; heterozygous for two deficiencies, each of which deletes the gene). Over half the per0 individuals and half the per- individuals tested were rhythmically active, with dominant periods ranging from 4 to 22 h; most of the significantly rhythmic per0 and per- flies clearly exhibited multiple periodicities. This novel pattern of rhythmic behavior is thoroughly distinct from the wild-type pattern. One hypothesis suggested by our observations is that the per+ gene products mediate the coupling of multiple ultradian oscillators to produce wild-type circadian rhythms.
