The pineal gland (epiphysis) is a small endocrine gland in the [[thalamus]] (a part of the [[diencephalon]]). The hormone [[melatonin]] is produced in the pineal gland. It is the central regulatory organ for the synchronization of the 24-hour rhythm. The production of melatonin takes place mainly at night. Melatonin controls the sleep-wake rhythm and other time-dependent rhythms of the body. In the case of dysfunction it causes - apart from a disturbed daily rhythm - either sexual precociousness or delay or inhibition of the development of sex. | The pineal gland (epiphysis) is a small endocrine gland in the [[thalamus]] (a part of the [[diencephalon]]).
