Neuro-Endocrine

Meaning

Neuro-Endocrine describes the bidirectional and integrated system linking the central nervous system and the endocrine system, allowing for rapid neural modulation of slower, sustained hormonal responses. This axis, often centered around the hypothalamus and pituitary, governs stress response, growth, reproduction, and metabolic homeostasis. It is the body’s master regulatory network, translating neural input into hormonal output.
