Is it true that the human body keeps internal time with a master circadian clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus?
Yes. A review of hypothalamic circadian rhythms states that the master clock is the suprachiasmatic nucleus in the hypothalamus, responsible for synchronizing internal rhythms, and a mammalian circadian biology review likewise names the SCN as the principal circadian pacemaker. Other retrieved studies place the master clock in the SCN but in rodents, quail, or mammals generally rather than humans specifically.
