| Title | Effect of Lithium Chloride on the Circadian Rhythm in the Flight Activity of the Microchiropteran Bat, Taphozous melanopogon  | ||
| Abstract | We have performed experiments on the influence of Li+ offered through drinking water i) on the period length (t) of the rhythm in the flight activity o f bats under LL and ii) on phase angles during entrainment under LD cycles. Bats subject to entrainment exhibited no qualitative and quantitative change in ^ values after Li+ treatment. In contrast the ingestion of Li ions by bats under free-running conditions shortens the x of the bat rhythm by an amount that is a function of period length prior to ingestion, x is, thus homeostatically conserved in the face of Li administra tion in bats. | ||
