HPG Axis Brain Function

Meaning

HPG Axis Brain Function refers to the crucial neuroendocrine regulation of brain health and cognitive processes mediated by the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal axis. This axis, traditionally known for controlling reproductive function, profoundly influences neurogenesis, mood, stress response, and the structural integrity of the central nervous system through the release of gonadal hormones like testosterone and estrogen. A well-regulated HPG axis is fundamental to long-term cognitive and emotional wellness.
