Abstract
Suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus are a pacemaker of ci rcadian fluctuations of behaviour. Their signals reach the executive o rgans by the hormonal and neuronal pathways through the brain messenge r structures. It has been demonstrated with relationships between the SCN, the pineal gland and striatum that these communications present t he closed and autoregulated functional blocks.
