This page covers biological details of component Suprachiasmatic Nucleus.
Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

* '''Top-down path to region''': Forebrain Diencephalon -> [[BrainCenterFD_HT|Hypothalamus]] (FD.HT) -> Anterior Hypothalamus Area (LAC.FD.HT.AHT) -> Chiasmatic Area (LAC.FD.HT.CHS) -> [[BrainRegionLAC_FD_HT_SCN|Suprachiasmatic Nucleus]] (LAC.FD.HT.SCN) (see [[OverallMindMaps|Mind Maps]])
* '''Type''': nucleus
* '''Brain area''': [[BrainAreaLAC|Lower Brain - Autonomous Control Area]]
* '''Role''': relay
* '''Function''': Regulate the circadian cycle, 24-hour rhythms
