We still lack a complete understanding of the pineal gland but that

doesnt stop us from speculating.

by Scott Thill

Located in nearly the direct center of the brain, the tiny pinecone-shaped pineal gland, which habitually secretes

the wondrous neurohormone melatonin while we sleep at night, was once thought to be a vestigial leftover from a

lower evolutionary state.

Indeed, according to recent research, we could be increasing our chances of contracting chronic illnesses likecancer by unnecessarily bathing its evenings in artificial light, working night shifts or staying up too late. By

disrupting the pineal gland and melatonins chronobiological connection to Earths rotational 24-hour light anddark cycle, known as its circadian rhythm, were possibly opening the doors not to perception, but to disease

and disorder. A recently published study from Vanderbilt University has found associations between circadiandisruption and heart disease, diabetes and obesity.

By hacking what pinealophiles call our minds third eye with an always-on technoculture transmitting globally at

light-speed, we may have disadvantaged our genetic ability to ward off all manner of complicated nightmares. Nowonder the pineal gland is a pop-culture staple for sci-fi, fantasy and horror fandom, as well as a mass attractor

of mystics and mentalists. Its powers to divide and merge our light and dark lives only seems to grow the morewe take it seriously.

We still lack a complete understanding of the pineal gland, University of Michigan professor of physiology and

neurology Jimo Borjigin, a pioneer in medical visualization of the pineal glands melatonin secretion, told me.Numerous molecules are found in the pineal, many of which are uniquely found at night, and



we do not have a good idea of what their functions are.The only function that is established beyond doubt is the melatonin synthesis and secretion at night, which is

controlled by the central clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and modulated by light. All else is speculative.

Discerning between the science and speculation of the pineal gland hasnt been easy since long before ReneDescartes called it the principal seat of the soul after studying it at length nearly four centuries ago. (Althoughno evidence exists to support this, clarified Borjigin.) So heres a handy shortlist of things you should know

about the pineal gland.

1. Third Eyes and Theosophistry

The current scientific understanding is that the pineal gland probably started out as an eye, and it receives signalsfrom light and our retinas. Whether it was our only eye which shrunk into the brain once its perceptive tasks were

taken care of by our two newer eyes, or whether it was a third eye with a spiritual and physical connection toprevious spiritual and evolutionary states, or both, has galvanized science and speculation for centuries.

Earths ancient cultural histories are filled with folklore featuring both one-eyed and three-eyed beings of great

power, from Shiva and Cyclops to that amiable fellow in The Twilight Zones classic episode, Will the RealMartian Please Stand Up? and beyond. (From Beyond even: See below.)



Associations can be found in Hinduism, whose seventh primary chakra Sahasara is a multilayered lotus that looks

like the pineal glands pinecone, and whose primary function is to perceive universal oneness, scientifically and

spiritually speaking. Theosophists, who have been studying what they perceive as hidden knowledge since the

Greeks and Romans ruled philosophical and scientific inquiry, have more recently claimed that the pineal gland is

the spiritual engine of our evolution into embryo gods, beings of consciousness and matter.

That description seems apt, given the astronomical power we have achieved in a few million yeas of evolution.

While Homo sapiens third eyes likely transformed into pineal glands along the way, today we can still find

animals with photoreceptive third eyes, now called parietal eyes, like New Zealands endangered tuatara. Fossils

from other ancient creatures feature similar sockets in their skulls, making our pineal gland a candidate for an ex-

eye.

2. What Was Once Hidden Is Now Hi-Res

Michigan University professor Borjigin and his team are hard at work on how the pineal gland and melatonin

regulate our lives.

The central circadian clock controls timing of almost all aspects of our life, including physiology and behavior,

and melatonin is the best marker to decode the fingerprints of circadian timing in both humans and animals, he

told me. In the past, it was very difficult to study circadian properties of melatonin in animals due to technical

limitations. My lab invented long-term pineal microdialysis, which permits automated, computer-controlled and

high-resolution analysis of melatonin secretion from rodent pineal gland from four to 10 weeks in the same

animal.

These visualizations could go a long way toward understanding how to hack melatonin, which the pineal gland

secretes when we sleep and helps the brain repair and sync our bodies to Earths rotation. Melatonin is a

stunning compound, found naturally in plants, animals and microbes. A powerful antioxidant, its list of its

medicinal uses only seems to grow each year, as we learn more about its ability to help with immune disorders,

chronic illnesses, and neurodegeneration.

Pineal microdialysis allows us to monitor melatonin secretion closely under various conditions to simulate jet lag,

shiftwork, light pollution, diet manipulation and more to define the fingerprints of circadian response to

environment, he added. It also allows us to discover animals with extreme chronotypes, like early-birds ornight-owls, to understand how individuals with different chronotype respond to circadian challenges differently.

These are still ongoing studies, but hopefully some of the works will be published this year.

3. Artificial Light = Dark Future

What has been recently published about melatonin is already pretty significant, especially for those looking to

combat breast and prostate cancer. Harvard University School of Public Health researcher Itai Kloog and hisgroup published a series of studies in the last few years explaining how our modern urbanized sleeping habitat

(PDF) is a massive hormone-based cancer risk. We have blotted out the night sky with artificial light,

wrote Earth Island Journals Holly Hayworth, citing Kloogs research and noting that half that light is wasted

anyway.

Weve proven beyond a doubt that its a risk factor, Kloog told me. Light at night has been proven on many

levels, by our group and many others, to definitely contribute to higher risk of developing hormonal cancer.

Kloogs team published five studies altogether, including analyses at local and global levels, and all of them found

firm correlations between circadian and melatonin disruption and higher risks of cancer. Analyzing NASAs

Defense Meteorological Satellite Program archive (to illuminate Earths light-at-night coverage) and data from

the World Health Organization, Kloogs group found clearly that as women were more exposed to light atnighttime, their rates of breast cancer went up. Our Israel study found that going from minimum exposure to

average exposure to light at night resulted in a 36 percent higher standard rate of breast cancer, and going from

average to maximum was another 26 percent increase.

Using kernel smoothing to create density maps showing light exposure and cancer rates, Kloogs team found that

another of its studies, which sourced more than 20,000 light sources by height and intensity, showed a clear

association. For their two worldwide studies, they developed an algorithm to assign population weight averagelight exposure for every person in every city across the world, using WHO data, and again they found a clear

association between cancer and light at night.

For average light exposure per person, if you take an underdeveloped country like Nepal, were talking about0.02 nanowatts per centimeter squared, Kloog explained. Compare that to the United States, where the

average light exposure of a person is 57.5. Up until around 120 years ago, humans were basically exposed to 12

hours of sunlight and 12 hours of darkness on average, seasons and latitudes permitting of course. But since the

invention of the lightbulb, weve artificially stretched the day. We go to sleep late at night, we have lights on whilewe sleep, we have a shorter sleep duration. We have a lot of factors stretching out our days, relative to the light

period we experienced during millions of years of previous evolution.

Its something thats easy to take out of the equation, Kloog told me. Go to sleep in a dark room. Use lesslight. Close the shutters. Circadian disruption is carcinogenic to humans.

4. Occult Classic

This is not to say that late-night viewing itself isnt good for the mind, especially when it comes to pineal glandsand third eyes. Because pineal glands and third eyes remain singular components of an otherwise binary brain

with an extraordinary past, they have stimulated some stranger explorations of their spiritual and supernatural

possibility. The pineal glands circadian dualism has achieved particular resonance with influential occultists like

horror influential H.P. Lovecraft. Who, in turn, have spawned new generations of speculative talents that haveused it as a quite flexible receptacle for expansive meaning.

My first exposure to the pineal gland came from Stuart Gordons movie adaptation of Lovecrafts FromBeyond, Javier Grillo-Marxuach, creator of the cult sci-fi television classic The Middleman, told AlterNet. In

truth, everything I know about that particular endocrine body probably derives from that seminal experience,

which explains why I am a television writer and not a brain surgeon.

In From Beyond, a supernaturally activated pineal gland turns mad scientists into brain-eating zombies. The

recently reissued 1957 exploitation film She Devil features a female monster whose hyperstimulated pineal

gland turns her into a demon, a devil, a creature with a warped soul! In both films, and many other third-eye

head-trips, functions as a sexualized organ, rather than a circadian regulator. Today, some use melatoninsupplements, available since the 90s, to aid with sexual dysfunction. But the pineal glands expansive mythic and

scientific history has much broader applications when it comes to folklore and entertainment.

In The Middleman, we quickly discovered that because this most mysterious of glands is so misunderstood,even though its very name connotes a certain frisson of scientific accuracy and technical understanding, it was a

fantastic shorthand for whatever otherworldly qualities we needed to justify, Grillo-Marxuach added. Over the

course of 12 episodes, the pineal gland became the source of psychic ability, communication between paralleldimensions, the magical influence of succubi and incubi over the libidos of ordinary mortals and, finally, the

power source for our main supervillains armageddon device. Since Stuart Gordon and H.P. Lovecraft gave me

such a gift in my teenage years by providing me with so fanciful an understanding of cerebral anatomy, I figured

Id pay the favor forward as many times as possible.
