Definisi & Makna dari "neuroendocrinology

What is "neuroendocrinology"?

Neuroendocrinology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the relationship between the nervous system and the endocrine system, which controls hormones in the body. Neuroendocrinologists study how the brain produces and releases hormones that control various bodily functions, including metabolism, growth, reproduction, and stress response. They research how these hormone systems affect behavior, mood, and overall health. Neuroendocrinology plays a crucial role in understanding conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, and hormonal imbalances, and in developing treatments to manage them effectively.
