Neuroendocrinology Introduction

A brief introduction to the study of neuroendocrinology. The hypothalamus sends signal to both the anterior and posterior pituitary, causing them to release various neuroendocrine hormones. The anterior pituitary is controlled by hormones released from the hypothalamus. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone acts to release luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormones, which act on the gonads. Growth hormone-releasing hormone acts to release growth hormone, which acts on the liver, as well as many other organs. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone acts to release thyroid-stimulating hormone, which acts on the thyroid gland. Corticotropin-releasing hormone acts to release adrenocorticotropic hormone, which acts on the adrenal cortex. Somatostatin and dopamine are also released from the hypothalamus, which inhibit the release of growth hormone and prolactin, respectively. The hypothalamus also has neurons that project to the posterior pituitary, allowing it to send signals to release oxytocin, which acts on the uterus, and vasopressin which acts on the kidneys. For more information on each of these neuroendocrine hormones, keep an eye on this channel for future videos in this series.
