Pineal gland: structural variants and their role in neurological and psychiatric disorders [PDF]
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]
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

The pineal gland and reproduction [PDF]
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

Transcriptome Analysis of Pineal Glands in the Mouse Model of Alzheimer’s Disease
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

To what extent does photoperiod affect cattle reproduction? Clinical perspectives of melatonin administration [PDF]
The seasonality of reproduction in most mammals is dictated by photoperiod, temperature and nutrition. Melatonin, mainly synthesized in the pineal gland, is generally accepted as the active mediator of photoperiod responses including reproduction.

CALCIFICATION IN THE PINEAL GLAND [PDF]
Pathologic as well as roentgenologic literature on calcification of the pineal gland is very scarce. Schueller,1apparently, was the first to demonstrate concretions in the gland radiographically, and the only one to verify his roentgen-ray findings by necropsy.

Pineal cyst-related sleep disorders – a narrative review
The pineal gland is an endocrine gland, which is responsible for the human circadian rhythm, through the regulation of its hormone – melatonin. The most common pathology of a pineal gland is pineal cyst – its population incidence is estimated as 1-23 ...

Pineal Gland Metastasis From Poorly Differentiated Carcinoma of Unknown Primary Origin
Pineal metastasis is an exceedingly rare finding in patients with systemic malignancies. Such lesions are typically the manifestation of a primary lung cancer; nonetheless, a variety of malignancies have been reported to disseminate to the pineal gland ...
