✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Removal of the pineal organ from the lake chub, Couesius plumbeus, had significant effects on circadian locomotor activity. In fish kept in continuous darkness the absolute length of the circadian period was significantly altered; the variability of the period was increased; and ultradian rhythms were eliminated. These findings indicate that the pineal organ is involved in the control of circadian rhythmicity in this teleost fish.

## Abstract The response of the circadian rhythm in N‐acetyltransferase (NAT) activity to phase‐shifted light cycles was examined in vitro in explant cultures of chick (Gallus domesticus) pineal glands. Bisected portions of glands, obtained from birds housed in a light—dark cycle (LD 12:12), were e
