Description for Neural Regulation in the Vertebrate Endocrine System
Hardback. Describes neural regulation in the endocrine system in vertebrates. This book contains five sections: brain regulation of pituitary, brain GnRH and regulation of pituitary in fish, brain control of growth hormone in fish and birds, brain regulation in mammalian luteinizing hormone, and neural control of other endocrines and the immune system. Editor(s): Prasada Rao, D. S.; Peter, Richard E. Num Pages: 248 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJG; PSAN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly.

The objective of this book is to provide recent information on neural regulation in the endocrine system in vertebrates. Classical studies have revealed that certain neurons synthesize and release chemical messengers into the vascular system. These neurons are endocrine devices that link the brain with the endocrine glands and other target organs. In vertebrates, the hypothalamus is the seat for chemical coordination and integration of en- vironmental and hormonal cues to modulate function of the pituitary gland, and conse- quently, the functions of other endocrine glands. Exciting information generated during the past few decades has resulted in profound alterations in ... Read more
