This was likely due to his pre-modern understanding of anatomy and physiology. It has been called the “third eye.” The pineal gland was commonly dubbed the “third eye” for many reasons ...

Zebrafish are known to detect color and brightness with the pineal gland, which is part of the brain. How they do so is now being elucidated. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes ...

This suggests that the reduction in pineal gland size is not part of a broader change in brain structure, but may instead be ...

Many non-mammalian vertebrates like fish, however, are known to detect color and brightness with the pineal gland, which is part of the brain. An Osaka Metropolitan University research group has ...

OBJECT: The authors studied the microsurgical anatomy and endoscopic features ... Such an approach exposes the pineal gland and its complex neurovascular structures so that the third ventricle ...

Researchers have elucidated how a single photoreceptor in the pineal gland of zebrafish detects color. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red ...
