The suprachiasmatic nucleus is responsible for regulating the circadian rhythms of the body. If the neurons of the suprachiasmatic nucleus are separated and put in a dish, each of the cells would have a slightly different rhythm because they would no longer be synchronized by inputs from other cells and external cues. However, they would still be capable of generating their own intrinsic rhythms.
