Abstract
The magnocellular neurones of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system have in recent years proved a valuable model in which to examine the complex control of peptidergic secretion, in particular oxytocin and vasopressin. The unique properties of the nuclei containing these neurones — principally homogeneity and high density of the neuronal population — have meant that a variety of in vivo and in vitro studies have been possible.
