Neuroscience and Behavioral Physiology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Conclusions

Thus, the data obtained, together with literature data, show that a close functional interrelationship exists between the activity of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal-adrenal system and the epiphysis. Hypofunction of the epiphysis leads to steady activation of the glucocorticoid function of the adrenals, which is most probably associated with disinhibition of the adrenocorticotropic function of the hypophysis.
