@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaLAC -> BrainRegionLAC_FD_HT_SCN

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 -> Hypothalamus (HTA.FD.HT) -> Anterior Hypothalamus Area (HTA.FD.HT.AHT) -> Chiasmatic Area (HTA.FD.HT.CHS) -> Suprachiasmatic Nucleus (LAC.FD.HT.SCN) (see Mind Maps)
• *Type*: nucleus
• *Brain area*: Lower Brain - Autonomous Control Area
• *Role*: relay
• *Function*: Regulate the circadian cycle, 24-hour rhythms
