In mammals, the main pacemaker is centralized in the suprachiasmatic nuclei, whereas in birds, the pacemaker involves the interplay between the pineal and hypothalamic oscillators. In order to investigate the consequence of this complex mechanism, we propose here a mathematical model for the bird circadian clock. The model is based on the internal resonance between the pineal and hypothalamic oscillators, each described by Goodwin-like equations. We show that, consistently with experimental observations, self-sustained oscillations can be generated by mutual inhibitory coupling of the 2 clocks, even if individual oscillators present damped oscillations. We study the effect of constant and periodic administrations of melatonin, which, in intact birds, acts as the coupling variable between the pineal and the hypothalamus, and compare the prediction of the model with the experiments performed in pinealectomized birds. We also assess the entrainment properties when the system is subject to light-dark cycles. Analyses of the entrainment range, resynchronization time after jet lag, and entrainment phase with respect to the photoperiod lead us to formulate hypotheses about the physiological advantage of the particular architecture of the avian circadian clock. Although minimal, our model opens promising perspectives in modeling and understanding the bird circadian clock.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0748730413512454","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,11]],"date-time":"2013-12-11T13:13:59Z","timestamp":1386767639000},"page":"390-402","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The
