Why pineal gland is called third eye?
Wow, I had no idea. Are there any modern scientific studies on the pineal gland's role in perception?
Yes, researchers have found that the pineal gland produces and secretes the hormone melatonin, which regulates sleep-wake cycles and influences mood. Some studies suggest that it may also play a role in regulating circadian rhythm and even in mediating certain types of visual perception.
