Abstract：
:S-antigen-immunoreactive pinealocytes located in the deep portion of the pineal organ of inbred and wild pigmented mice give rise to long, beaded processes penetrating into the habenular and pretectal regions. In addition, the medial habenular nuclei and the pretectal area contain S-antigen-immunoreactive perikarya, which resemble pinealocytes in size, shape and immunoreactivity and are considered as "pinealocyte-like" epithalamic cells. Immunoblotting techniques reveal that a single protein band of approximately 48 kDa molecular weight accounts for this immunoreactivity. As shown with the use of the electron microscope, the majority of the S-antigen-immunoreactive processes is closely apposed to immunonegative neuronal profiles and perikarya of the habenular and pretectal regions. S-antigen-immunoreactive processes and perikarya of both pinealocytes of the deep pineal organ and pinealocyte-like epithalamic cells may form the postsynaptic element in conventional synapses involving axons provided with clear synaptic vesicles. Thus, certain mammalian pinealocytes may receive and transmit signals via point-to-point connections resembling neuro-neuronal contacts. These results challenge the concept that the mammalian pineal organ exerts its influence exclusively via the release of melatonin into the general circulation. Furthermore, they provide evidence (i) that neuronal circuits not involving the sympathetic system participate in the regulation of pineal functions in mammals, and (ii) that intimate histogenetic and functional relationships exist between the pineal organ and the habenular-pretectal nuclei in mammals.
