lead too short date November 2010 morefootnotes date November 2010 Neuroendocrinology is the study of the interactions between the nervous system and the endocrine system . The concept arose from the recognition that the secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland is closely controlled by the brain, especially by the hypothalamus . Pioneers of neuroendocrinology Ernst and Berta Scharrer 1906 1995 co founded the field of neuroendocrinology with their initial observations and proposals concerning neuropeptide s. Geoffrey Harris ref http www.dafml.unito.it anatomy panzica neuroendo articolipdf 1997Raisman.pdf ref 1913 1971 is considered by many to be the father of neuroendocrinology. Geoffrey Harris is credited with showing that the anterior pituitary gland of mammals is regulated by factors secreted by hypothalamic neuron s into the hypothalamohypophysial portal circulation . By contrast, the hormones of the posterior pituitary gland are secreted into the systemic circulation directly from the nerve endings of hypothalamic neurons. The first of these factors to be identified are thyrotropin releasing hormone TRH and gonadotropin releasing hormone GnRH . TRH is a small peptide that stimulates ... encoded in electrical activity?

The Journal of Neuroendocrinology , first published in 1989 is an academic journal that mainly publishes reports of original research in the field of neuroendocrinology , along with occasional review articles it claims to provide the principal international focus for the newest ideas in classical neuroendocrinology vertebrate and invertebrate and its expanding interface with the regulation of behavioural, cognitive, developmental, degenerative and metabolic processes. http www.blackwellpublishing.com journal.asp?ref 0953 8194&site 1 History of The Journal The Journal is owned and managed by the British Society for Neuroendocrinology BSN , and published on its behalf by Blackwell Publishing . It is now also an official journal of the European Neuroendocrine Association and of the International Neuroendocrine Federation . Profits from the journal are used mainly to support international conferences in neuroendocrinology. The editor in chief is appointed by the committee of the BSN, and reports to the committee and membership of the BSN. Professor Stafford Lightman of the University of Bristol was the first Editor in chief, and an internationally diverse editorial board, of more than 30 members. He has been succeeded by Gareth Leng from 1997 to 2004 and the present Editor in Chief, Julia Buckingham of Imperial College , London. Editorial policies Customary peer review policies for scientific journals are followed. When a manuscript is submitted to The Journal, it sent for review to two or three independent experts, often including members of the editorial board.

Neurochemistry is the specific study of neurochemical s, which include neurotransmitter s and other molecules such as neuro active drugs that influence neuron function. This principle closely examines the manner in which these neurochemicals influence the network of neural operation. This evolving area of neuroscience offers a neurochemist a micro macro connection between the analysis of organic compound s active in the nervous system and neural processes such as cortical plasticity , neurogenesis and Neural development neural differentiation . History The founding of neurochemistry as a discipline traces it origins to a series of International Neurochemical Symposia , of which the first symposium volume published in 1954 was titled Biochemistry of the Developing Nervous System . ref cite book last Siegel first George J. coauthors Albers, R.W., Brady, S.T., Price, D.L. title Basic Neurochemistry, 7th Ed. publisher Academic Press year 2006 isbn 0 12 088397 X ref These meetings led to the formation of the International Society for Neurochemistry and the American Society for Neurochemistry . These early gatherings discussed the tentative nature of possible neurotransmitter substances such as acetylcholine , histamine , substance P , and serotonin . By 1972, ideas were more concrete. Neurochemicals such as norepinephrine , dopamine , and serotonin were classified as putative neurotransmitters in certain neuronal tracts in the brain.

Other circumventricular organs are the subfornical organ SFO and the area postrema in the brainstem . AV3V region The OVLT and the SFO are both strongly interconnected with the median preoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus the nucleus medianus , and together these three structures comprise the so called AV3V region the region anterior and ventral to the third ventricle. The AV3V region is very important in the regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance by controlling thirst, sodium excretion, blood volume regulation, and vasopressin secretion. Function The OVLT is outside the blood brain barrier , and so neurons in this region can respond to factors that are present in the systemic circulation. Some neurons in the OVLT are osmoreceptor s, being sensitive to the osmotic pressure of the blood. These neurons project to the supraoptic nucleus and paraventricular nucleus to regulate the activity of vasopressin secreting neurons. These neurons also project to the nucleus medianus also called the medial preoptic nucleus which is involved in controlling thirst .
