Oxytocin at physiological concentrations evokes adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) release from corticotrophs by increasing intracellular free calcium mobilized mainly from intracellular stores. Oxytocin displays synergistic or additive effects on ACTH-releasing factor or arginine vasopressin-induced ACTH secretion, respectively [PDF]
, 1992 The potency of oxytocin (OT) in evoking ACTH secretion by isolated, superfused rat adenohypophyseal corticotrophs and its enhancement by CRF and arginine vasopressin (AVP) were analyzed.

Involvement of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis and its interaction with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in the ontogeny of avian thermoregulation: a review [PDF]
, 2008 The emergence of thermoregulation in avian species is a complex matter in which neural as well as hormonal processes are involved. In a previous paper, the neural aspects of primary avian thermoregulation were discussed.

Chromogranin A in neurons of the rat cerebellum and spinal cord: quantification and sites of expression [PDF]
, 1992 Chromogranin A (CGA) is an abundant protein of dense-cored secretory vesicles in endocrine and neuronal cells. The present study, for the first time, compares CGA of neurons of the central nervous system with the CGA of adrenal origin.

Dorsoventral splitting of the infundibulum in a child with pituitary hypoplasia
Radiology Case Reports, 2023 Pituitary development arises from ectodermal tissue creating Rathke's pouch and ultimately the adenohypophysis anteriorly whereas neuroectodermal tissue arising from the diencephalon creates the neurohypophysis posteriorly.

Neurohypophysial dysmorphogenesis in mice lacking the homeobox gene Uncx4·1 [PDF]
, 2006 A number of transcription factors have been implicated in the development of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system (HNS). Null mutations for these factors caused severe defects in proliferation, migration and survival during early embryogenesis.
