Neuroendocrinology of Reproduction

Neuroendocrinology of Reproduction deals with the hypothalamus, a central brain region responsible for the control of reproduction, regulates pituitary hormone synthesis and release. Neuroendocrinology is the branch of biology which studies the interaction between the nervous system and the endocrine system that is how the brain regulates the hormonal activity in the body. Gonadotropin (GnRH) or luteinizing hormone (LH)-releasing hormone is a pivotal hypothalamic neuropeptide that regulates vertebrate, which consists of various aspects of physiological events throughout the lifespan, including fertilization, development, puberty, social and sexual behaviours, maturation, and aging. Reproductive functions are controlled by the hypothalamus–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis.
