The corticotropin-releasing hormone network and the hypothalamic-pituitary- adrenal axis: Molecular and cellular mechanisms involved
Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) plays a key role in adjusting the basal and stress-activated hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA). CRH is also widely distributed in extrahypothalamic circuits, where it acts as a neuroregulator to integrate the complex neuroendocrine, autonomic, and behavi...
