Circadian rhythms are regulated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), a group of neurons located in the hypothalamus of the brain. The SCN receives input from light-sensitive cells in the retina, allowing it to synchronize the body's internal clock with the external light-dark cycle. This regulation influences various physiological processes, including sleep-wake cycles, hormone release, and metabolism.
