Abstract
Lithium chloride (0.047 M) lengthens the period of running wheel activity of Syrian hamsters by 0.2 h. The phase‐shifting effect of light pulses are affected by this salt: Delays are increased by 0.3 h, and advances reduced by 1.5 h. The switchover from delays to advances is delayed by 1.0 h. No effect of Li+on the phase‐shifting of light pulses was found during the subjective day.Keywords
