Pineal Gland Volume, Sleep Quality, and Psychiatric Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
Acta Psychiatr ScandABSTRACT Introduction Disturbances in sleep and circadian rhythms are features of several psychiatric disorders. The pineal gland regulates these rhythms via melatonin, with pineal gland volume (PGV) serving as a structural proxy. We conducted a meta‐analysis to synthesize evidence on differences in PGV between patients with psychiatric disorders and ...

Pineal gland: structural variants and their role in neurological and psychiatric disorders [PDF]
Анналы клинической и экспериментальной неврологии, 2022 The pineal gland is a small and poorly studied neuroendocrine gland located in the epithalamus. There is growing interest in the pineal gland due to its role in regulating human biological rhythms, which is associated with melatonin production, and its ...

Pineal gland calcification confirmed by CT scan is associated with ischemic stroke [PDF]
Romanian Journal of Neurology, 2019 Background. Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the most common debilitating neurological disorder worldwide. The ischemic injury causes inflammation and oxidative stress, and leads to apoptosis, necrosis and activation of autophagal pathways

Fluoride and Pineal Gland [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2020 The pineal gland is an endocrine gland whose main function is the biosynthesis and secretion of melatonin, a hormone responsible for regulating circadian rhythms, e.g., the sleep/wake cycle. Due to its exceptionally high vascularization and its location outside the blood–brain barrier, the pineal gland may accumulate significant amounts of calcium and ...

Transcriptome Analysis of Pineal Glands in the Mouse Model of Alzheimer’s Disease
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2020 The pineal gland maintains the circadian rhythm in the body by secreting the hormone melatonin. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease. Pineal gland impairment in AD is widely observed, but no study to date has analyzed the

MRI-based assessment of the pineal gland in a large population of children aged 0-5 years and comparison with pineoblastoma: part I, the solid gland. [PDF]
, 2016 Differentiation between normal solid (non-cystic) pineal glands and pineal pathologies on brain MRI is difficult. The aim of this study was to assess the size of the solid pineal gland in children (0-5 years) and compare the findings with published ...

The pineal gland and reproduction [PDF]
Human Reproduction Update, 1996 The hormonal activity of the pineal gland is influenced by both the dark-light cycle and the seasonal cycle, causing it to play an important role in the neuroendocrine control of reproductive physiology. This is especially evident in seasonally breeding animals, in which reproductive function is clearly influenced by seasonal variations in the duration
