| Abstract | Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) shifts the phase of the circadian rhythm in the eye of Aplysia. We have examined the role of cAMP in mediating the effects of 5-HT on the rhythm. The phase shifts produced by 5-HT are mimicked by treatments that should increase intracellular levels of cAMP. An analogue of cAMP-8-benzylthio-cAMP, advanced and delayed the rhythm at phases in which 5-HT had similar effects on the rhythm. In addition, two phosphodiesterase inhibitors, Ro-20-1724 and papaverine, caused advance phase shifts where 5-HT advances the rhythm. The phosphodiesterase inhibitors Ro-20-1724 and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine each potentiated the effect of subthreshold doses of 5-HT on the rhythm. The effects of 5-HT and 8-benzylthio-cAMP on the rhythm were nonadditive, indicating that 5-HT and 8-benzylthio-cAMP affect the rhythm through a common pathway. Finally, 5-HT produced large changes (13-fold) in the levels of cAMP in the eye. These results indicate that cAMP mediates the effect of 5-HT on the rhythm. There are two possible roles for cAMP in the circadian system. Either the cAMP system is an intracellular step in an entrainment pathway or it is part of the biological clock. Because 5-HT, 8-benzylthio-cAMP, and three phosphodiesterase inhibitors inhibit impulses from the eye, cAMP may also mediate the inhibition produced by 5-HT, or it might be involved in regulating the frequency of spontaneous impulses throughout the day. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
