Thermographic imaging of mouse across circadian time reveals body surface temperature elevation associated with non-locomotor body movements.

Circadian clocks orchestrate multiple different physiological rhythms in a well-synchronized manner. However, how these separate rhythms are interconnected is not exactly understood. Here, we developed a method that allows for the real-time simultaneous measurement of locomotor activity and body tem...
