Özet

Pineal gland is an endocrine organ which exerts regulatory effects on the activity of various organs and systems. The present study was undertaken to highlight in experimental animals the possible integrative function of this endocrine organ on a behavioural pattern. Pinealectomy and foetal pineal gland transplantation to a subpial cortical area close to the pinealectomized region was performed. Behaviour was defined through motor activity induced by low (2 mg/kg) and high (10 mg/kg) doses of amphetamine in rats.
