Chronobiological Entrainment

Meaning

Chronobiological Entrainment is the process of synchronizing an individual’s internal biological rhythms, particularly the master circadian clock located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), with external environmental cues, known as zeitgebers. This precise alignment is essential for optimizing the temporal regulation of hormonal secretion, metabolic activity, and sleep-wake cycles. Clinical entrainment aims to correct desynchronization, which is often a consequence of modern lifestyle or jet lag, to improve overall health and performance.
