Résumé
A neurohormone is any hormone produced and released by neuroendocrine cells (also called neurosecretory cells) into the blood. By definition of being hormones, they are secreted into the circulation for systemic effect, but they can also have a role of neurotransmitter or other roles such as autocrine (self) or paracrine (local) messenger. The hypothalamus releasing hormones are neurohypophysial hormones in specialized hypothalamic neurons which extend to the median eminence and posterior pituitary. The adrenal medulla produces adrenomedullary hormones in chromaffin cells, cells which are very similar in structure to post-synaptic sympathetic neurons, even though they are not neurons they are derivatives of the neural crest. Enterochromaffin and enterochromaffin-like cells, both being enteroendocrine cells, are also considered neuroendocrine cells due to their structural and functional similarity to chromaffin cells, although they are not derivatives of the neural crest. Other neuroendocrine cells are scattered throughout the body. Neurohormone are released by neurosecretory cells Releasing hormones also known as hypophysiotropic or hypothalamic hormones are synthesized by different kinds of specialized neurons in the hypothalamus. They are then transported along neuronal axons to their axon terminals forming the bulk of the median eminence, where they are stored and released into the hypophyseal portal system. They then rapidly reach the anterior pituitary where they exert their hormonal action. The residual hormones pass into the systemic circulation where they are diluted, degraded and have comparatively little effects. The synthesis, control, and release of those hormones is co-regulated by hormonal, local and synaptic signals (neurotransmitters). The neurons secreting various hormones have been found to discharge impulses in burst, causing a pulsatile release which is more efficient than a continuous release.

Releasing and inhibiting hormones
Releasing hormones and inhibiting hormones are hormones whose main purpose is to control the release of other hormones, either by stimulating or inhibiting their release. They are also called liberins (ˈlɪbərᵻnz) and statins (ˈstætᵻnz) (respectively), or releasing factors and inhibiting factors. The principal examples are hypothalamic-pituitary hormones that can be classified from several viewpoints: they are hypothalamic hormones (originating in the hypothalamus), they are hypophysiotropic hormones (affecting the hypophysis, that is, the pituitary gland), and they are tropic hormones (having other endocrine glands as their target).
Éminence médiane
right|thumb|220px|Noyaux de l'hypothalamus L'éminence médiane se trouve à la base de l'hypothalamus dans le cerveau humain. À la partie inférieure du troisième ventricule cérébral, les parois de l'hypothalamus fusionnent pour former l'éminence médiane, qui forme un petit renflement sur le tuber cinereum postérieur à l'infundibulum au sommet de la tige pituitaire. Elle se situe dans la région approximativement délimitée sur sa région postérolatérale par les pédoncules cérébraux, et sur sa région antérolatérale par le chiasma optique.
Hypothalamus
thumb|250px|Vue tridimensionnelle de l'hypothalamus (en rouge). L'hypothalamus (du grec : ὑπό, hypo = dessous et θάλαμος, thálamos = chambre, cavité) est une structure du système nerveux central, située sur la face ventrale de l'encéphale. Cette partie du cerveau est constituée de plusieurs sous-structures, appelées noyaux. Ces noyaux sont des ensembles anatomiquement indépendants de neurones qui assurent diverses fonctions.
