The field of neuroendocrinology has extended from the initial
interest in the hypothalamic control of pituitary secretion to
embrace multiple reciprocal interactions between the central
nervous system (CNS) and endocrine systems in the coordination of
homeostasis and various physiological responses from adaptation to
disease. Most recently, epigenetic mechanisms were recognized for
their role in the development of the neuroendocrine axes as well as
in the mediation of gene-environment interactions in stress-related
psychiatry disorders.
