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, whichis associatedwithmelatonin production, andits close neuroendocrine linkbetween the brain's hormonal andneurally mediatedactivity. The paper examines the anatomical and physiological features of the pineal gland, its structural variations, andthe role of the melatonin it produces in the pathogenesis of several mental andneurological disorders.
