Neuronal Control of Reproduction

Neurochemical organization of brain structures (primarily hypothalamus, septum) with special emphasis on glutamatergic innervation and on agonist-induced internalization of somatostatin receptors. Organization and functional significance of brain regions involved in the control of prolactin secretion and of male gonadal function. Asymmetry in the structures controlling these functions. Neural and humoral pathways as well as local factors participating in the regulation of prolactin secretion and male gonadal function
