Neuroendocrine Interaction

Meaning

Neuroendocrine interaction defines the reciprocal, integrated communication and regulatory control shared between the nervous system and the endocrine system, representing a single, unified command and control system for the body. This critical biological dialogue allows the central nervous system to translate external stimuli and internal states into hormonal signals, while hormones simultaneously feed back to influence brain function, mood, and behavior. It is the fundamental mechanism that governs the stress response, metabolism, growth, and reproduction.
