Shkodina [et al.] // Journal of International Dental and Medical Research. – 2021. – Vol. 14, № 2. – P. 841–844.1309-100Xhttps://repository.pdmu.edu.ua/handle/123456789/16344The question of the staged accumulation of brain sand in different parts of the pineal gland and the associated changes in cell composition and blood vessels in the elderly and senile people is not definitively studied. Our pilot study included 16 samples of the human pineal glands of the elderly and senile that were divided according to the degree of calcification into 2 groups. In order to objectify the data obtained on micropreparations in each group the morphometric parameters were determined. The degree of calcification of the pineal gland in the elderly and senile is associated with the topography of the inclusions of the brain sand and changes in blood vessels. Increased degree of calcification is accompanied by changes in internal structure of pineal gland which indicate involutional processes.enpineal glandcalcificationagedArticle
