Abstract	The suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) coordinate the daily sleep-wake cycle by generating a circadian rhythm in electrical impulse frequency. While period and phase of the SCN rhythm have been considered as major output parameters, we propose that the waveform of the rhythm of the SCN also has significance. Using implanted micro-electrodes, we recorded SCN impulse frequency in freely moving mice and manipulated its circadian waveform by exposing mice to light-dark (LD) cycle durations ranging from 22 hours (LD 11∶11) to 26 hours (LD 13∶13). Adaptation to long T-cycles (>24 h) resulted in a trough in electrical activity at the beginning of the night while in short T-cycles (<24 h), SCN activity reached a trough at the end of night. In all T-cycle durations, the intensity of behavioral activity was maximal during the trough of SCN electrical activity and correlated negatively with increasing levels of SCN activity. Interestingly, small changes in T-cycle duration could induce large changes in waveform and in the time of trough (about 3.5 h), and accordingly in the timing of behavioral activity. At a smaller timescale (minutes to hours), we observed a negative correlation between SCN activity and behavioral activity, and acute silencing of SCN neurons by tetrodotoxin (TTX) during the inactive phase of the animal triggered behavioral activity. Thus, the SCN electrical activity levels appear crucially involved in determining the temporal profile of behavioral activity and controls behavior beyond the circadian time domain.
