Parent topics
Subtopics
- Median eminence [r]: Specialised region at the base of the brain containing the hypothalamo-hypophysial portal vessels and neuroendocrine nerve endings that release their products into them. [e]
- Posterior pituitary [r]: Gland that contains nerve endings of hypothalamic neuroendocrine neurons that secrete the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin [e]
- Subfornical organ [r]: One of the circumventricular organs of the brain, lacking a blood-brain barrier, known as a site where blood-borne factors are "sensed". [e]
- Organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis [r]: Circumventricular organ at the base of the anterior wall of the third ventricle with an important role in regulation of electrolyte balance. [e]
- Area postrema [r]: Circumventricular organ at the floor of the fourth ventricle apparently specialised to detect blood-borne factors relevant to energy intake and utilisation. [e]
- Subcommissural organ [r]: Glandular structure of the brain apparently specialised for secretion into the cerebrospinal fluid. [e]
- Pineal gland [r]: Endocrine gland, in humans near the centre of the brain, secretes melatonin. [e]
- Area postrema [r]: Circumventricular organ at the floor of the fourth ventricle apparently specialised to detect blood-borne factors relevant to energy intake and utilisation. [e]
- Choroid plexus [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Neuroendocrinology [r]: The study of the interactions between the nervous system and the endocrine system. [e]
- Hypothalamus [r]: A part of the mammalian brain located below the thalamus, forming the major portion of the ventral region of the diencephalon. [e]
- Blood-brain barrier [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Oxytocin [r]: A mammalian hormone that is secreted into the bloodstream from the posterior pituitary gland, and which is also released into the brain where it has effects on social behaviors. [e]
- Memory of water [r]: A pseudoscientific concept, according to which water molecules can store information about the kind of molecules they had been in contact with. [e]
- Ebola [r]: A virus that causes severe hemhorragic fever and often death, that is easily spread. [e]
