Dependency of episodic bursts and activity bouts on circadian rhythm

Dependence of the number (upper panels) and size (AUC) of bioluminescence bursts (middle panels) as well as the number of activity bouts (lower panels) on the circadian phase of the respective clock gene. The circadian phase was divided into 4 phases based on CT (CT0-6, early subjective day; CT6-12, late subjective day; CT12-18, early subjective night; CT18-24, late subjective night). Blue, red and green columns with a vertical bar (mean ± SD) indicate the results of Per1-luc, PER2::LUC and Bmal1-ELuc reporter, respectively. Gray and black bars at the bottom of the panels indicate the subjective day and night. Asterisk (*) indicates statistically significant difference between the values in different phases (p < 0.05, one-way repeated measure ANOVA with a post-hoc Tukey-Kramer).
