By 15 weeks of age, their abnormal circadian behavior mirrors that seen in HD patients and is accompanied by dysregulated clock gene expression in the circadian pacemaker, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). We found, however, that the electrophysiological output of the SCN assayed<jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>was normal. Furthermore, the endogenous rhythm of circadian gene expression, monitored<jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>by luciferase imaging of organotypical SCN slices removed from mice with disintegrated behavioral rhythms, was also normal. We concluded that abnormal behavioral and molecular circadian rhythms observed in R6\/2 mice<jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic>arise from dysfunction of brain circuitry afferent to the SCN, rather than from a primary deficiency within the pacemaker itself. Because circadian sleep disruption is deleterious to cognitive function, and cognitive decline is pronounced in R6\/2 mice, we tested whether circadian and cognitive disturbances could be reversed by using a sedative drug to impose a daily cycle of sleep in R6\/2 mice. Daily treatment with Alprazolam reversed the dysregulated expression of<jats:italic>Per2<\/jats:italic>and also<jats:italic>Prok2<\/jats:italic>, an output factor of the SCN that controls behavioral rhythms. It also markedly improved cognitive performance of R6\/2 mice in a two-choice visual discrimination task. Together, our data show for the first time that treatments aimed at restoring circadian rhythms may not only slow the cognitive decline that is such a devastating feature of HD but may also improve other circadian gene-regulated functions that are impaired in this disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1523\/jneurosci.0649-07.2007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,7,18]],"date-time":"2007-07-18T17:28:28Z","timestamp":1184779708000},"page":"7869-7878","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":169,"title":["Pharmacological
