The mammalian circadian pacemaker, located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), expresses 24-h rhythms when isolated in vitro. The GABAAagonist, muscimol, induces phase advances during the mid-subjective day, while the GABABagonist, baclofen, induces both daytime phase advances and nighttime phase delays. Here, we present evidence that tetrodotoxin (TTX) completely blocks baclofen-induced phase shifts in vitro, but does not block in vitro phase advances induced by muscimol. These results suggest that GABAA, but not GABAB, receptors are located on SCN pacemaker cells.
