    The ability of nursing mothers to entrain the circadian pacemaker of rat pups was examined by measuring the rat Per1 (rPer1) and rPer2 expression levels in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN). Newborn rats from mothers under a light-dark cycle (LD) were blinded immediately after birth and reared by foster mothers under either LD (LD blind pups) or reversed light-dark cycle (DL; DL blind pups). At postnatal day (P)6, small but significant phase differences were observed in the circadian gene expression rhythms of the SCN not only between the blind and sighted pups, but also between the two groups of blind pups, indicating the involvement of both free-running and maternal influence in phase-resetting the circadian rhythms of blind pups. However, from P6 to P13 the circadian rhythms of both LD and DL blind pups showed phase delays of similar extent, which suggests that the influence of nursing mothers was lost. From P13 to P20 (the day of weaning), the rPer1 and rPer2 rhythms phase-shifted in a different manner, the rPer2 rhythm being related more closely to the behavioural rhythm than was the rPer1. This finding suggests a differential influence of mothers on the rPer1 and rPer2 rhythms in the third week of life. It is concluded that the ability of nursing mothers to entrain pup circadian oscillation depends on the developmental stage.
