Biological rhythms are ubiquitous being demonstrable of any level of organization in living matter. However, the myriad of biological oscillators in peripheral organs are organized and synchronized by special structure, i.e., biological clocks, mostly located in central nervous system. Neural pacemakers show intrinsic properties which are illustrated and discussed. Understanding the meaning and function of neural oscillators is fundamental for those who wants to know how the biological structure of time is processed in living systems.
生物节律无处不在，在生物体内的任何组织层次上都能得到证明。然而，外周器官中无数的生物振荡器是由特殊结构即生物钟组织和同步的，生物钟大多位于中枢神经系统。神经起搏器显示出其内在特性，并对此进行了说明和讨论。对于那些想了解时间的生物结构在生命系统中是如何被处理的人来说，理解神经振荡器的意义和功能是至关重要的。
