Neurohormonal Regulation

Meaning

Neurohormonal Regulation describes the intricate, bidirectional communication and control system involving both the nervous system and the endocrine system, ensuring the body’s integrated response to internal and external stimuli. This fundamental physiological process is orchestrated primarily by the hypothalamus, which translates neural input into hormonal output, coordinating vital functions like stress response, metabolism, reproduction, and fluid balance. A robust neurohormonal regulatory capacity is synonymous with physiological resilience and the maintenance of systemic homeostasis. Dysfunction in this axis often manifests as a cascade of symptoms affecting multiple organ systems.
