Pathophysiology of Central Nervous System Regulation of Anterior Pituitary Function

  • Chapter
Book cover Biology of Brain Dysfunction

Abstract

Central nervous system (CNS) regulation of anterior pituitary function involves the interaction of two major bodily systems — the nervous and endocrine systems. A discussion of both the role of the CNS in hormonal regulation and of hormonal effects on CNS function is outside the scope of this chapter, which will focus mainly on selected aspects of the role of the CNS in hormonal regulation.
