A Procedure for Neonatal Pinealectomy.

Abstract

A detailed description of procedures for performing pinealectomies on one-day-old rat pups is presented. The procedures have proved to be simple, rapid, and economical in terms of subject survival. The procedure has application in studies of the relationships between pineal function and either behavior or the functioning of other biological systems (i.e., any of the several endocrine systems).
