Function of the pineal body/gland is endocrine. This contributes the the alertness or consciousness of one's self and produces "melatonin" which regulates the sleep/wake patterns. The name derives from its shape.
It produces melatonin that helps to regulate sleep/wake functions, and even seasonal functions (e.g. more wakefulness and productivity in the summer, versus more restfulness - and, in some animals, hibernation - in the winter).
