  "summary": "Light history leaves persistent changes in circadian period, but where this history is stored remains unresolved. Suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) network models have often approached photoperiodic encoding through phase organization or coupling strength. We computationally tested slow adaptation of subregion-specific intrinsic periods as an alternative memory mechanism. The model asymmetrically…",
