they are all controlled by a "master clock" in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN)—a tiny structure located deep in the brain. Previous work by the Imperial researchers showed that astrocytes ...

The body's central internal clock is located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the brain. Along with other internal clocks—such as those in the heart and liver—it regulates various bodily ...

The mechanisms governing the phase-restricted effects of light on the SCN clock are not understood. Given that activation of immediate-early genes and the phosphorylation of the transcriptional ...

Increasing evidence highlights a bidirectional relationship between circadian disruption and hepatic pathophysiology, suggesting liver disease is both a consequence and a driver of circadian ...

The 'master clock' is in the hypothalamus of your brain and helps determine the circadian rhythm. Where it's located is called the suprachiasmatic nucleus [SCN] and it sends signals to other ...
