Abstract: | Diurnal variation of the incorporation of labeled precursors of RNA and proteins into spinal, stem, and cortical populations from the nervous system of rats is studied on surviving sections of the brain. It is shown that in the absence of an effect of other parts of the nervous system, afferentation, and humoral factors isolated nerve cell populations preserve the diurnal rhythm of activity of the genetic apparatus that correlates with the motor activity and the light reception (light-dark cycle) of animals.
