The major hypothalamic control over prolactin secretion from the anterior pituitary gland is
inhibitory by means of dopamine released from tuberoinfundibular dopamine (TIDA) …

Dopamine agonists with activity at both dopamine D2 and D3 receptor subtypes stimulate
tuberoinfundibular dopamine neurons and inhibit prolactin secretion from the anterior …

In recent years, the population of neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and substantia
nigra (SN) has been examined at multiple levels. The results indicate that the projections …

A neuromodulatory role for dopamine has been reported for magnocellular neuroendocrine
cells in the mammalian hypothalamus. We examined its potential role as a local intercellular …

Prolactin is thought to exert an autoregulatory, negative feedback effect on its own secretion
via stimulation of the tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic (TIDA) neurons. To investigate …

Recent studies have revealed an important role of the ventrolateral (subcommissural) aspect
of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (vBNST) in motivational aspects of drug abuse …

The central nervous system contains three types of catecholamines: dopamine (DA),
norepinephrine (NE), and epinephrine (E). Over the past 25 years, progressive analysis of …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of neurotensin (NT) receptors in
mediating the stimulatory effects of prolactin on the activity of tuberoinfundibular dopamine …

While the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis is crucial for the function of the gonads, non-
endocrine regulatory influences are exerted by other factors within the gonads. Among these …
