Abstract

Circadian rhythms are intrinsic properties of every cell in the body, governed by a molecular clockwork that orchestrates temporal variations in protein levels that match the 24-hour day. All cellular and molecular processes in the body are entrained by light cues via the retinohypothalamic tract. Light entrainment is mediated by the brain's master pacemaker, the suprachiasmatic nucleus, which is the region of the hypothalamus that synchronizes the rest of the brain and periphery to the external environment. Peripheral tissues have their own circadian regulators but are all ultimately synchronized under the direction of the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
