Summary Recent work concerning the number, site(s) and means of adjustment to the 24-h day of internal clocks is reviewed. Work on humans is considered wherever possible though much of the work involving ablation and in vitro techniques necessarily involves other species, particularly rodents. It is concluded that, though recent advances have been impressive and present techniques appear likely to continue to produce results and stimulate discussion, more attention should be directed to considering the circadian system as a whole rather than as an assemblage of individual components.
