Neuro-Endocrine Responses

Meaning

Neuro-Endocrine Responses are the coordinated physiological reactions mediated by the intricate, bidirectional communication between the nervous system and the endocrine system. These responses integrate sensory and cognitive input, primarily through the Hypothalamic-Pituitary Axis (HPA), to regulate systemic homeostasis, stress adaptation, metabolism, and reproductive function. They represent the body’s fundamental mechanism for linking the external environment to internal physiological state.
