Neuroendocrine Feedback Mechanisms

Neuroendocrine feedback mechanisms are processes in the body where the nervous system and endocrine system communicate to regulate functions like stress, growth, and metabolism. When the brain detects a change, such as low energy or stress, it sends signals to glands that produce hormones. These hormones then act on various organs to restore balance, such as increasing energy or managing stress levels. Once the desired effect is achieved, feedback signals inform the brain to reduce or stop hormone production, maintaining homeostasis and ensuring the body functions optimally.
