The pineal gland secretes melatonin throughout the 24-hour cycle, with secretion being highest in the middle of the night and lowest during daylight hours. In this video, I discuss the pineal gland and melatonin secretion, including 24-hour patterns of melatonin secretion and how the pineal gland uses signals from the retina about how much light is in the environment to determine what the time of day is.2-Minute Neuroscience VideosCircadian rhythmsGlandsMelatoninSleepCircadian rhythms.Glands.Melatonin.Sleep.Marc Dingman,McIntyre Media Inc.,OOMMOOMMVIDEO9910867337103321Pineal Gland4172177UNINA
