It is in the Retina, in the ipRGCs (intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells) of the human eye. Melanopsin communicates with the brain directly with the SCN, and not via the visual cortex.

To anticipate events timed with the earth’s rotation, all organisms contain an internal timekeeper. We call this cycling pattern, circadian rhythms. To align specific biological functions to night
