A melatonin‐based photoperiod timing mechanism and a circannual rhythm‐generating system interact to govern seasonal cycles in physiology and behavior in many vertebrates. This paper focuses on the pars tuberalis (PT) of the mammalian pituitary gland as a model melatonin‐responsive tissue to investigate the molecular basis of these two basic long‐term timing processes.
