Electron microscopic analysis of S‐antigen‐ and serotonin‐immuoreactive neural and sensory elements in the photosensory pineal organ of the salmon
Photoreceptor cells in the pineal complex of poikilothermic vertebrates are regarded as homologous with the neuroendocrine pinealocytes in the mammalian pineal organ. They possess an indolamine metabolism, and they contain a number of substances that are immunochemically similar to phototransduction‐related proteins otherwise found in photoreceptors of the lateral eye retina.
