Advanced Neuroendocrinology

0.5 credits · Graduate

This course provides an in-depth examination of the interactions between the central nervous system amd endocrine systems focusing on the limbic-hypothalamic-adrenal-pituitary axis. This course studies the control of hormone release at each level of the axis, including neurotransmiter modulation and steroid feedback during both homeostatic and stressor-induced states. In addition, the relevance of the effects of stessors on the neuroendocrine systems, disease, and behaviour is considered.
