Central Nervous System Cross-Talk

Meaning

Central Nervous System Cross-Talk refers to the intricate, bidirectional communication and mutual regulatory influence between different nuclei and regions within the brain and spinal cord. This continuous exchange of information, primarily via neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, is essential for coordinating systemic physiological responses, including those governed by the endocrine system. It dictates how the brain integrates external stimuli and internal states to maintain hormonal and metabolic homeostasis.
