GlossaryNeurohormones

chemicals produced by nerve cells that act as hormones

Neurohormones are chemicals produced by nerve cells that act as hormones to regulate various physiological processes in the body. They are released into the bloodstream by neurosecretory cells and can influence functions such as growth, metabolism, and stress responses. Examples include oxytocin and vasopressin, which are produced in the hypothalamus and play roles in social bonding and water balance, respectively.
