TV series "Meritorious Service" drama
In the TV series "Meritorious Service", Tu Youyou, played by Zhou Xun
In the TV series "Meritorious Service", in order to prevent Tu Youyou from forgetting to pick up her daughter from kindergarten, her husband asked her to bring a villain book "Chicken Calling in the Middle of the Night" to work. When you see the villain book, you will remember to pick up your daughter. So colleagues in the research group discussed whether the rooster would crow in the middle of the night. Tu Youyou explained it like this:
A comic strip compiled by the Shanghai People's Publishing House based on puppet films
"As for whether the adult rooster you just discussed will not chirp in the middle of the night, I think it is because the adult rooster has its own specific biological clock, as long as it goes to sleep, the pineal gland will secrete melatonin, but if there is light into the eyes of the rooster, it will inhibit the secretion of melatonin, causing chirping." Singing together is a linkage. But I also think that roosters are not as easily lured as dogs and have a linkage alarm. All this is reasoning, which requires experimental demonstration. ”
