Micro-morphology of pineal gland calcification in age-related neurodegenerative diseases

The formation of concrements in human pineal gland (PG) is a physiological process and, according to many researchers, is associated with the involution of PG structures. The majority of scientific publications concern progressive calcification of pineal gland (PG), leaving out studies on the destruction of already formed calcified concrements. Our study fills the gap in knowledge about calcified zones destruction in PG in normal agind and neuropathological conditions, that hasn't been addressed until now
