Neuro-Hormonal Interface

Meaning

The Neuro-Hormonal Interface refers to the complex, integrated communication network between the nervous system and the endocrine system, where neural signals are translated into hormonal responses and vice versa. This critical juncture, primarily centered around the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, is the control center for all major physiological regulatory loops, including stress, metabolism, and reproduction. The health and efficiency of this interface are paramount for maintaining systemic homeostasis and ensuring the body’s adaptive capacity. Dysfunction here underlies many chronic hormonal imbalances.
