Summary

The functional and anatomical interactions between the endocrine system and the nervous system are studied under the field of neuroendocrinology. The neuroendocrine system is responsible for maintaining homeostasis, and managing reproduction, eating and drinking behavior, metabolism, energy utilization, and blood pressure. The advances in neuroendocrinology are essential to the study and management of neurobiological brain disorders. The endocrine system is made up of several glands which are responsible for the production and secretion of different hormones. The hypothalamus is an integral part of the neuroendocrine system. It connects the nervous system to the endocrine system through the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland consists of two portions, the anterior pituitary gland and the posterior pituitary gland. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of neuroendocrinology. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. Researchers and students in this field will be assisted by this book.
