The pineal gland remains poorly understood despite long-standing interest. This review synthesizes prior research to clarify some of its structural and functional mysteries. A recently established seven-neuron circuit connects the retina to the pineal gland, linking light and other rays to its secretion. Physical properties such as piezoelectricity, piezoluminescence, electromagnetic fields, solar flares, and infrared energy are correlated with the gland's structure and secretions. Melatonin regulates sleep-wake patterns, reproductive hormones, and temperature.
