Neuroendocrine Crosstalk

Meaning

The bidirectional communication and integrated signaling between the nervous system and the endocrine system, representing the body’s primary mechanism for maintaining homeostasis and adapting to stress. This critical interface ensures that neural signals translate into hormonal responses and, conversely, that hormones influence neuronal activity and behavior. The Hypothalamus is the central hub for this essential physiological coordination.
