The answer is: The hypothalamus.

Explanation for each option:

  1. In neurons: This is incorrect. While the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is composed of neurons, this option does not specify the anatomical location within the brain.
  2. The pineal gland: This is incorrect. The pineal gland is involved in the production of melatonin and is not the location of the SCN.
  3. The hypothalamus: This is correct. The SCN is a group of neurons located in the hypothalamus, specifically in the anterior part. It is responsible for controlling circadian rhythms.
  4. The amygdala: This is incorrect. The amygdala is involved in emotion processing and is not the location of the SCN.

Summary: The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is located in the hypothalamus.
