  • Look Inside

The postnatal growth of the mouse pineal was stud-ied in a quantitative way. The pineal volume was estimated by means of a paper method in completely serial histologic sections. During postnatal develop-ment the pineal shows no sex difference in absolute size. The volumetric growth gradually proceeds from birth to 40 days of age, and then ceases for a short period from 40 to 60 days. After 60 days the pineal again increases in volume until at 90 days it finally attains the adult volume. From 90 days to 210 days the pineal remains almost unaltered in size. The pineal weight was also culculated from the volume on the basis of the weight/volume ratio of the cerebral tissue. The pineal growth during early postnatal period, es-pecially in the first 10 days, is attributed to both pro-liferation and enlargement of pineal cells, but that after 20 days, primarily to enlargement. The pineal differ-entiation was also pursued quantitatively on the basis of nuclear changes in shape characteristic of the pineal cells.
