The journal is a forum for the original scientific results of basic applied and clinical research involving any aspect of the pineal gland or its hormonal products in all vertebrate species. Essential criteria for publication are soundness novelty and timeliness as well as clarity of presentation. Experimental data that are contrary to currently accepted thinking or divergent from actual dogma will be considered provided the findings are based on solid new experimental observations. All submitted papers must be complete in themselves. Case reports will be considered if the findings contribute significantly to an understanding of some aspect of the pineal gland. It is the expressed aim of the journal to serve pineal researchers in all disciplines.
