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. 410 0$a2-Minute Neuroscience Videos 606 $aCircadian rhythms 606 $aGlands 606 $aMelatonin 606 $aSleep 615 00$aCircadian rhythms. 615 00$aGlands. 615 00$aMelatonin. 615 00$aSleep. 712 02$aMarc Dingman, 712 02$aMcIntyre Media Inc., 801 0$bOOMM 801 1$bOOMM 906 $aVIDEO 912 $a9910867337103321 996 $aPineal Gland$94172177 997 $aUNINA
