There is evidence that the trigeminal (Gasserian) ganglia innervate the mammalian pineal gland and serve in its regulation in addition to the sympathetic and cholinergic as well as further influences. By means of immunohistochemical methods, previous studies demonstrated fibers containing calcitonin
We have used the neurotropic Bartha strain of pseudorabies virus (PRV) to characterise the pathway linking the endogenous circadian pacemaker of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) to the pineal gland. This low virulent strain of virus replicates within synaptically linked neurones and is ideally suit
Twelve patients with untreated cancer of the esophagus and 14 control subjects matched for age, smoking, and alcohol consumption were tested for taste thresholds. Taste acuity for the four basic tastes was evaluated by three stimulus forced choice techniques (Henkin). There were no significant diffe
