The present article reviews the literature relative to VIP-and PHI-containing nerve fibers in the pineal gland of mammals. The article summarizes data on the presence and distribution of the two peptides in the brain of mammals, their role in neuronal metabolism, and the significance and origin of V

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
Sympathetic nerves of the pineal gland contain both serotonin and norepinephrine. Inhibition of norepinephrine synthesis with a tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor, a-methyl-p-tyrosine (aMPT) , causes an elevation of pineal serotonin. The administration of dopamine or norepinephrine blocks the elevation
