Body's Biological Clock Brain. The idea of a biological clock may sound like a quaint metaphor, but there is actually a very distinct brain region that is charged with keeping time: The system that regulates an organism’s innate sense of time and controls circadian rhythms is called a biological clock. A master clock coordinates all the biological clocks in an organism. Our master biological clock, based in the brain’s hypothalamus, is a cluster of about 20,000 nerve cells called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (because they sit above. Almost every cell in your body has an internal clock that tells it when to become active, when to rest, and when to divide. But in the past 15 years, researchers have found. Circadian rhythms are controlled by biological clocks located in organs and glands throughout the body, but all of these peripheral clocks are commanded by a “master clock” in a region of the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus. Your circadian rhythm affects many other. Scientists once thought that the brain’s central clock was the body’s only one — that it alone directed every tissue in the body. Found in most living organisms, circadian rhythms are regulated by light, behavior, and a biological clock mechanism—a set of clock genes located in cells throughout the body. It’s composed of proteins encoded by thousands of genes that switch on and off in a specific order. It is an area called the suprachiasmatic.
