Hypothalamus
Regulates the autonomic nervous system and controls pituitary gland secretion.
Pituitary Gland
Produces hormones that regulate other endocrine glands and influences growth, metabolism, and regeneration.
Thyroid Gland
Produces hormones that influence the body's metabolic rate and interacts with the sympathetic nervous system.
Adrenal Glands
Release cortisol and adrenaline, which are critical to the fight-or-flight response and stress regulation.
Pineal Gland
Secretes melatonin, which regulates circadian rhythms and is affected by light exposure.
Insulin
A hormone that regulates blood sugar levels and has effects on brain function, such as memory and cognition.
Testosterone
Influences neural circuits that control aggression and sexual behavior, and affects overall mood and energy levels.
Estrogen
Modulates brain function, including mood regulation, cognitive function, pain perception, and neuroprotection.
Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)
Triggers the release of ACTH from the pituitary, initiating the stress hormone response by the adrenal glands.
Growth Hormone (GH)
Stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration, and can impact cognitive function and emotional well-being.
