As the world goes dark, this master switch tells our pineal gland to increase levels of the hormone melatonin in the bloodstream, sort of like a chemical lullaby.

天暗下来时，这个主关告诉我们的松果体增加血液中的褪黑激素水平，有点像化学摇篮曲。

It alerts your pineal gland to start producing melatonin.

它提醒你的松果腺体褪黑素。

But with nightfall comes the release of sleepy melatonin hormones from the pineal gland.

但是在晚上，就从松果体褪黑激素。

As it gets later and dark outside, the pineal gland in your brain starts to release the hormone, and it binds to receptors deep in the brain to help usher you into dreamland.

当外面越来越晚，天黑时，你大脑中的松果体始释放荷尔蒙，它与大脑深处的受体结合，帮助引导你进入梦。

As you go to sleep and finally begin to drift off, melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland which begins the sleep cycle, which happens multiple times through the night.

当你准备睡觉并始熟睡时，松果体褪黑激素，松果体始了睡眠周期，整个晚上发生多次。

And the master gland in your body is the pituitary, which produces many hormones that signal other glands — like the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and pineal glands — to make their own hormones.

你体内的主要腺体是垂体，它产生许多荷尔蒙，向其他腺体发出信号——比如甲状腺、甲状旁腺、肾上腺和松果腺——制造自己的荷尔蒙。

Every once in a while, sudden soreness triggered a twinge of discomfort and shame. Whoever said the soul and the body met in the pineal gland was a fool. It's the asshole, stupid.

每隔一阵，阵痛就触发强烈的羞耻感。认为灵魂与肉体的交点在松果体75的人，都是傻瓜。笨蛋。

A rare supratentorial pediatric tumor is a pinealoma, which forms in the region of the pineal gland.

还有一种罕见的儿童脑幕上肿瘤：松果体瘤，在松果体中形成。

Pinealomas primarily emerge from the endocrine cells of the pineal gland, and they can be grade I through IV.

松果体瘤初发于松果体的内细胞，可为I到IV级。

These cells are found in glands, like the supratentorial pineal gland which is located just behind the third ventricle, or the infratentorial pituitary gland located near the front of the third ventricle.

这些细胞位于腺体中，例如在第三脑室后的脑幕上松果体，或是靠近第三脑室前的脑幕下垂体腺。

As the sun rises, your pineal gland stops releasing melatonin.

随着太阳升起，你的松果体停止褪黑激素。

Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in your brain.

褪黑素是由你大脑松果体的一种激素。

When the sun goes down, it is released by the pineal gland in the brain.

当太阳下山时，大脑中的松果体就释放这种物质。

As long as the mind is in the body, he believed, it is linked to the brain through a special brain organ which he called the pineal gland, where a constant interaction takes place between 'spirit' and 'matter.

他相信，只要思想在身体里，它就通过一种特殊的大脑器官与大脑相连，他称之为松果体，“神”和“物质”之间不断发生相互作用。

Well, deep inside our brain we find the same structure, the pineal gland, which we also use to sense night and day, and tell us when it's time to sleep.

其实，在我们的大脑深处， 我们发现了同样的结构，松果体，我们也用它来感知白天和夜晚，并告诉我们什么时候该睡觉。

And the studies indicate there may be the suggestion is there may be something somewhat different about our pineal gland, but you know, we're all good at different things.

研究表明， 我们的松果体可能有些不同，但你知道， 我们每个人都有各自的特长。

If my soul, and again that's a metaphor, you know, people look for the soul throughout history and you can't find it in the pineal gland, for example.

如果我的灵魂， 这里是指个比喻，你知道， 人们一直在寻找灵魂， 但你不在松果体中找到它。

Hormones are made by specialised cells mostly found in the endocrine glands, the hypothalamus, testes and ovaries, and the thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary, adrenal and pineal glands.

激素由特化的细胞产生，这些细胞主要存在于内腺、下丘脑、睾丸和卵巢，以及甲状腺、副甲状腺、垂体、肾上腺和松果体中。

Melatonin is naturally produced by your brain, and it's released by a very small gland deep within your brain called the pineal gland.

褪黑激素由大脑自然产生，由大脑深处一个非常小的腺体释放， 称为松果体。

All they way up here at the top of our head, like with the pineal gland, the pituitary gland.

一直往上到我们头的顶部，比如松果体和垂体。
