Laterality in the Neuroendocrine System

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Wenner-Gren Center International Symposium Series ((WGCISS,volume 47))

Abstract

Neuroendocrinology grew out from two disciplines; endocrinology and neurology. The discovery of reciprocal regulation between the two main control Systems of the body, the hormonal and the neural one, led to Studies that revealed soveral now aspects of regulation. Our iuvestigations demonstrating lateralization of neuroendocrine control described in this chapter seem to contribute to developments in further elucidation of fundamental biological mechanisms
