What is the Pineal Gland
The pineal gland, also referred to as epiphysis, is a small, cone-shaped organ located in the center of the brain, between the two cerebral hemispheres and above the thalamus. This unique organ is about the size of a pea and has a characteristic, pinecone-like shape, which explains its name. The pineal gland is an essential part of the endocrine system, responsible for the production and secretion of hormones that play a crucial role in various physiological processes.
