The neuroendocrine system is a complex regulatory system that connects the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to the brain. It comprises neurons, neurochemicals, and several internal hormone-producing glands and tissues that allow the body to respond to, adapt to, and maintain homeostasis (Epelbaum & Terrien, 2020). This course will explore the HPA axis as a significant neuroendocrine system that plays a crucial role within the MGBA.
