Neurons in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus are described as master pacemaker cells for biological rhythms. However, a series of recent studies demonstrate the importance of another cell type, astrocytes, for biological timekeeping.
下丘脑视交叉上核（SCN）中的神经元被描述为生物节律的主起搏器细胞。然而，最近的一系列研究表明，另一种细胞类型——星形胶质细胞，对生物钟计时也很重要。
