If you want to understand what the pineal gland is, you need a crash course in evolutionary biology.
It evolved in early vertebrates as a sensory organ for detecting and responding to electromagnetic waves.
If you want to understand the effects of disabling it, you need a crash course in psychology.
Once upon a time a guy named Phineas Gage survived having part of his brain yanked out. Since this had never happened before, he was closely studied for changes in his intelligence and personality. It was discovered that his personality had changed. Go figure.
Starting with this fluke accident, scientists learned after some analysis that the regions near to the brain that had been destroyed were more active, they were compensating for the loss of the neighboring lobe by working doubletime.
This phenomenon is now known as "Neuroplasticity"
Obviously this has been confirmed using advances in imaging technology.
So what happens when your pineal gland is destroyed?
Let me tell you what buddy.
It makes the most primal, most ancient parts of your brain, the limbic system, more active.
That's not good buddy.
Basically will power is a function of the ratio of dominance between the frontal lobe and the limbic system. If your limib system is dominant, you are a cumbrain. If your frontal lobe is dominant, you are a sperg.
