The hypothalamic-neurohypophysial system regulates the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis under stress: an old concept revisited

Engelmann, Mario, Landgraf, Rainer, Wotjak, Carsten T.·2004·Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology

Abstract

Mammals respond to challenging situations with characteristic changes in their behaviour as well as in autonomic and neuroendocrine parameters aimed at reinstating their disturbed homeostasis. Among such so-called coping strategies, alterations of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis play a crucial role. Today it is generally accepted that parvocellular neurones of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus control the secretion of corticotropin and corticosterone by synthesising and releasing both the corticotropin-releasing hormone and vasopressin (AVP). Recent evidence supports and embellishes the old hypothesis that AVP and the structurally related neuropeptide, oxytocin, originating from the hypothalamic-neurohypophysial system (HNS) might directly affect HPA axis activity. This review presents data supporting the concept of HNS effects on HPA axis activity and outlines their possible impact on some aspects of behavioural regulation and psychopathology.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
