Neuroendocrinology
Neuroendocrinology explores the intricate relationships between the nervous system and the endocrine system, emphasizing how hormones affect brain function and behavior. This field examines how neurohormones regulate processes such as stress, metabolism, reproduction, and mood. Disruptions in these systems can lead to neurological disorders, including anxiety, depression, and neurodegenerative diseases.
