The following issues are covered by experts in the field: regulation of the pineal gland and in particular its relationship to circadian rhythms, the role of the pineal gland in seasonal and non-seasonal reproduction, the role of the pineal gland in humans and mammalian physiology, abnormalities of the pineal gland in depressive illness, and brain targets for pineal actions.
