Answer to Question 1

Answer: The SCN receives afferent signals from the retina (melanopsin in ganglion cells) that provide the capacity of light signals to reset the clock (zeitgeber function). Damage to the SCN impairs circadian rhythms. Cells within the SCN show reliable changes in neural activity across the day and the night. Transplanted SCN cells placed into the ventricles are sufficient to restore circadian rhythms in hamsters whose own SCN was ablated.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
