………….. by electrodes, he discovered his body maintained a regular circadian rhythm, influencing sleep, eating, and
hormone secretion. This field is known as chronobiology. The brain's 3 ………………… system, including the
suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), relies on proteins like CLK and PER. External cues fine-tune this system. Light, food,
