1. Once, it seems, the pineal gland was an eye.
2. It seems that those external changes are somehow detected by the pineal gland, for experimental animals deprived of their pineal are slower to entrain, but the mechanism is not known.
3. Now, from a team at La Trobe University in Victoria, Australia, comes evidence that a pineal hormone, melatonin, is responsible for bringing the free-running activity into line with the outside world (Science , vol 219, p 1089).
4. Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland, a tiny organ buried in the centre of the brain.
5. Results, mainly from data from the Northern Region Children's Malignant Disease Registry, for those aged 15-;24 for 1969-;90 are given in table V. In Seascale there were four cases, of which three were diagnosed during 1984-;90 (one non-Hodgkin lymphoma, one Hodgkin's disease, and one pineal tumour).
6. Jenny Redman, Stuart Armstrong and Kim Ng had previously tried injecting rats who were kept in total darkness and free from other environmental signals, with chemicals known to be made in the pineal.
7. Since the pineal produces its hormone melatonin only during the dark, melatonin might also be used to match the sleep/wake rhythm of the animal to the light/dark rhythm.
8. What they did not know - and perhaps Mr Desai did not know either - was that urine contains large amounts of melatonin - a chemical secreted by the pineal gland which is involved (no one knows how) in setting the body's natural rhythms.
9. In reality it is a membrane, the pineal gland, regarded in the East as the seat of extra-sensory perception.
10. Another method that has been tested upon some blind people is the regular use of the hormone melatonin, a product of the pineal gland.
11. Of the four cases found in this period two had non-Hodgkin lymphomas, one Hodgkin's disease, and one a pineal tumour; the excess is mainly attributable to non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
12. The pineal gland is a small structure buried deep on the brain.
