Notes: Summary Hamsters maintained in isolation boxes for 4–7 weeks were allowed to select their own lighting regimens by pressing levers, and to be active in running wheels. Three hamsters expressed circadian rhythms of light preference and of wheel-running activity (Figs. 1–3). Light tended to be selected during the inactive phase, and darkness was selected during wheel-running activity. By such a circadian rhythm of self-selected lighting, these hamsters are behaving in a way which may maintain those metabolic cycles that depend upon a 24-hour oscillation of light and darkness.
