Neuro-Endocrine Connection

Meaning

The Neuro-Endocrine Connection refers to the intricate, bidirectional communication network between the nervous system and the endocrine system, orchestrating the body’s physiological responses. This fundamental interplay ensures that neural signals can influence hormone release and action, while circulating hormones can, in turn, modulate brain function and neuronal activity. It represents a vital axis for maintaining systemic balance and coordinating adaptive responses to internal and external stimuli.
