title: A feeding-entrainable circadian oscillator system in the rabbit.
abstract: One of the most important properties of biological oscillators is their entrainment by exogenous forces acting cyclically in the environment. Among the environmental cycles, the phenomena recurring with a circadian periodicity are very prominent. The role of circadian zeitgebers is discussed giving a particular importance to the effects of feeding as a cause of masking and entrainment.
