I made a quick illustration for the anterior/posterior pituitary articles, but admittedly it's pretty weak. I'll add it to this page until someone finds something better. --Diberri 06:10, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Didn't René Descartes think that the pituitary gland was where the soul was attached to the body (mind/body problem)? -- Toby Bartels 03:04, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
