The Hypothalamus and Neuroendocrinology

Dorothy T. Krieger

Open publisher page 15 citations

Abstract

Pituitary regulation of endocrine response to changing homeostatic needs is itself regulated by the hypothalamus, which serves as a relay and integrating center for many types of stimuli reaching the CNS. Hypothalamic neurosecretory cells produce substances that cause the release and/or synthesis of the pituitary hormones. These substances reach the pituitary via portal veins draining the hypothalamic median eminence area.
