| | |  Neuroendocrinology: Encyclopedia II - Endocrinology - BackgroundAs evolution drove the emergence of multicellular organisms it became necessary to develop “coordinating systems to regulate and integrate the function of differentiating cells” (Griffin and Ojeda 2000). Two mechanisms perform this function in higher animals, the nervous system and the endocrine system. Unlike the former, which sends and receives information via electrochemical signals, the endocrine system performs its regulatory function through the detection, production and release (generally into the bloodstream) of chemical agents. ...

| | | | Neuroendocrinology: Encyclopedia II - Endocrinology - Work The medical specialty of endocrinology involves the diagnostic evaluation of a wide variety of symptoms and variations, as well as the long-term management of disorders of deficiency or excess of one or more hormones.
The practice of endocrinology is laboratory-oriented. A characteristic of endocrinology is that the diagnosis and treatment of endocrine diseases are guided by laboratory tests to a greater extent than for most specialties. Many diseases are investigated through excitation/stimulation or inhibition/suppression< ...

| | | | Neuroendocrinology: Encyclopedia II - Endocrine system - Role in disease Diseases of the endocrine system are common, such as diabetes mellitus and thyroid disease.
Endocrineopathies can occur with any of these. Hypofunction can occur as result of loss of reserve, hyposecretion, agenesis, atrophy, destruction, etc. Hyperfunction can occur as result of hypersecretion, loss of suppression, tumor, hyperplasia, etc.
They are classified as primary, secondary, and tertiary.
Primary is target organ dysfunction and is normally associated with increased or decreased secretory hormones. Secondary is a ...

| | | | Neuroendocrinology: Encyclopedia II - Clare W. Graves - Education Graves graduated from Union College in New York in 1940 and received his master's degree and a Ph.D in psychology from Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.
In the mid-twentieth century, Clare W. Graves taught psychology at Union College in Schenectady, New York. There he developed an epistemological model of human psychology. Graves claimed that the inspiration for so doing came from undergraduate students in his introductory psychology course. He acknowledged that he was unable to answer the frequently asked question ...

Endocrinology - Overview.
The endocrine system is comprised of several glands located in diverse areas of the body. Morphologically they are noteworthy because they secrete directly into the bloodstream rather than into a duct system. The hormones produced by these glands can have different functions and modes of actions. One hormone can have multiple effects and target organs and, likewise, one physiological event or target organ ...

| | | | Neuroendocrinology: Encyclopedia II - Endocrine system - Physiology The endocrine system links the brain to the organs that control body metabolism, growth and development, and reproduction.
Signal transduction of some hormones with steroid structure involves nuclear hormone receptor proteins that are a class of ligand activated proteins that, when bound to specific sequences of DNA serve as on-off switches for transcription within the cell nucleus. These switches control the development and differentiation of skin, bone and behavioral centers in the brain, as well as th ...
