Carbachol chronically and peripherally administered, depending on the circadian time, caused a phase shift in the free-running locomotor activity rhythm, resynchronized the rhythm, or had a masking effect of this rhythm in mice. In the discussion it is stressed that the drug affects the rhythmicity of this activity, probably by acting on the mechanism of suprachiasmatic nuclei.
