Qué es la glándula pineal

In this BIOLOGY video, we'll explain "What is the pineal gland?" What is the pineal gland? We often find the pineal gland synonymous with "epiphysis." The epiphysis, however, would actually be the pineal gland and the avenula. The question is...what does this gland do? This gland is closely related to the suprachiasmatic nucleus; it has a direct connection pathway, a nucleus in the hypothalamus that receives information from the retina (the retinal-hypothalamic pathway). This way, depending on the light, we know whether it's day or night and also what season it is. In other words, the pineal gland is a fundamental structure for regulating our circadian and annual rhythms and affects how other neurons are released.
