There is first evidence that the adult human pineal gland may be equipped with noradrenergic fibers as is the case in a variety of mammalian species. It therefore appears worthwhile to investigate the capacity of pineal noradrenergic nerves to take up 123I-MIBG, a prerequisite for scintigraphic imaging.
