Parent Topics
- Neuroendocrinology [r]: The study of the interactions between the nervous system and the endocrine system. [e]
- Endocrinology [r]: Generically, the study of glands and the hormonal regulation of physiology; also the subspecialty of internal medicine concerned with diseases of the endocrine system [e]
Subtopics
Brain areas
- Hypothalamus [r]: A part of the mammalian brain located below the thalamus, forming the major portion of the ventral region of the diencephalon. [e]
- Paraventricular nucleus [r]: Aggregation of neurons in the hypothalamus with important roles in neurendocrine regulation. [e]
- Supraoptic nucleus [r]: An aggregation in the hypothalamus of magnocellular neurosecretory neurones that project to the posterior pituitary gland, and which secrete the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin [e]
- Posterior pituitary gland [r]: Add brief definition or description
Physiology
- Parturition [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Milk ejection [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Maternal behaviour [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Bonding [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Natriuresis [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Sodium appetite [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Osmoregulation [r]: Add brief definition or description
Related hormones
- Vasopressin [r]: A hormone also called (arginine vasopressin, (AVP); formerly known as antidiuretic hormone, ADH), produced in the hypothalamus secreted from the posterior pituitary that causes kidneys to concentrate urine to conserve water, also causes vasoconstriction. [e]
- Vasotocin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Isotocin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Mesotocin [r]: Add brief definition or description
Other Related Topics
- Vincent du Vigneaud [r]: (1901 - 1978); awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1955 "for his work on biochemically important sulphur compounds, especially for the first synthesis of a polypeptide hormone". [e]
