title: Pineal "synaptic" ribbons evolution over a 24 hour period during two different photoluminous seasons, a comparative and statistical analysis.
abstract: A comparative statistical analysis of "synaptic ribbons" evolution over a 24 hour period during two different photoluminous seasons (September, and winter) is carried out. Seventy male rats were used. Statistical analysis involved the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, variance analysis, the Student t-test and Pearson's correlation test. The results show that "synaptic ribbons" evolve during the circadian phase and through two different seasons, with a clear and marked influence of point-time (p < 0.0001) and season (p < 0.0001).
