This article is only available in the PDF format. Download the PDF to view the article, as well as its associated figures and tables.

From the neuroendocrinologists come persistent insinuations that a more precise description of current knowledge is that the pituitary is the gallbladder of the brain, so large has been the number of substances isolated from brain tissue which function to control the secretions of this gland. Aside from these neurohumors, there is a growing body of evidence that the pituitary frequently may be bypassed by the neuroendocrine function of the brain.
