Synchronization of biological clock neurons by light and peripheral feedback systems promotes circadian rhythms and health

A Ramkisoensing, JH Meijer - Frontiers in neurology, 2015 - frontiersin.org
In mammals, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) functions as a circadian clock that drives

M Medanic, MU Gillette - The Journal of physiology, 1992 - Wiley Online Library
1. The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus is the primary pacemaker for
circadian rhythms in mammals. The 24 h pacemaker is endogenous to the SCN and persists …
