What part of the brain would a pineal cyst be located in??

It is located deep in the central part of the brain in a tiny cave behind and above the pituitary gland (which lies behind the root of the nose and directly behind the eyes).\n\nWhat it does is this: it is activated by light and it controls the various biorhythms of the body. It works in conjunction with the hypothalamus gland (which regulates thirstiness, hunger, sexual desire, and your "biological clock")\n\nJust FYI, if you have a pineal cyst, it is 90% benign (non - cancerous). Hope this helped.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), Liquor cerebrospinalis, is a clear bodily fluid that occupies the subarachnoid space in the brain (the space between the skull and the cerebral cortex—more specifically, between the arachnoid and pia layers of the meninges). It is basically a saline solution and acts as a "cushion" or buffer for the cortex. Cerebrospinal fluid also occupies the ventricular system of the brain and the spinal cord. It is mainly produced by the choroid plexus, but also by the ependymal lining of the brain's ventricles. The CSF is formed by the choroid plexus or the ventricles, circulates through the interventricular foramina into the third ventricle and then via the mesencephalic duct (cerebral aqueduct) into the fourth ventricle space through two lateral apertures and one median aperture, and is then absorbed by the venous system to the blood circulation.

it's located in the cytoplasm

From a part of brain called CEREBRUM, that is situated in the middle brain. All our thoughts & think processes are composed there.

I had a CAT scan about 5 years ago that showed and arachnoid cyst. The doctor wasn't concerned about it and it never caused me any problems. Heck.....I forgot about it until I saw your question.

I have a friend who has a shunt in her head, but, she received it from the medical center in Houston, Tx. I don't know where you are from but Houston is excellent with doctors who perform great surgeries. If you need his name, email me at mysticmoonprincess01@yahoo.com and I will get the doctor's name for you.

It appears that you have a cranial tumor.  The phrase "the mass" is the clue for the layperson.  Ask you doctor right away and/or call the physician that wrote the report.  Get answers as to the diagnosis and treatment alternatives.  Most cranial tumors are astrocytoma but there are a few that are benign.  All tumors of this area need treatment.  Radiation is usually the modality that can help shrink the lesion, benign or malignant.  Good luck

might have a brain tumor

I get cysts there all the time. a cyst is like a huge zit where junk builds up..if you mess with it and it gets much bigger..its a cyst

Maybe an infection that has created a cyst that is putting pressure on the nerves , or maybe a stroke or tumor.  Maybe head trauma...e.g. if you fell out of bed in your sleep....or play sports and had a jarring impact.  Or maybe hypertension (high blood pressure) or even some medications or street drugs.   Like too much asprin or blood thinners.  See a doctor please

A) Cell bodies is my choice.\n\nCerebral cortex  is a thin, convoluted surface of the brain consisting mainly of nerve cell bodies.♥

Wernicke's area is a part of the human brain that forms part of the cortex, on the left posterior section of the superior temporal gyrus, posterior to the primary auditory cortex, on the temporo-parietal junction (part of the brain where the temporal lobe and parietal lobe meet).

Could be a cyst. I would go have it checked out.

The cerebellum (Latin: "little brain") is a region of the brain that plays an important role in the integration of sensory perception and motor output. Many neural pathways link the cerebellum with the motor cortex—which sends information to the muscles causing them to move—and the spinocerebellar tract—which provides feedback on the position of the body in space (proprioception). The cerebellum integrates these two functions, using the constant feedback on body position to fine-tune motor movements.\n\nIts location is shown here:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellum

The area of the brain that is responsible for thought processes is gray in color the cerebrum hence gray matter

sinus cavities sit above and below the eyes not behind them.  The only thing behind the eyes is the skull and then the brain.
