Abstract
Shan et al. generate a Cre-inducible mouse reporter with green and red luciferases fused to PER2, enabling cell-specific circadian measurements with a dual-color imaging device. Using genetically directed bioluminescence from AVP or VIP neurons in the SCN circadian pacemaker, they unravel distinct functions of the circadian clock in these neuronal subtypes.
