neurohypophyseal adjective anatomy specializeduk /ˌnjʊə.rəʊˌhaɪ.pəʊˈfɪz.i.əl/ us /ˌnʊr.oʊˌhaɪ.poʊ.fəˈsiː.əl/ relating to or produced by the neurohypophysis(= part of the pituitary gland): Neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus is a disorder of water balance. The hypothalamic neurohypophyseal system plays an essential role in the control of hydromineral balance. Experiments were performed to evaluate the effect of dehydration on neurohypophyseal hormone secretion. A number of studies have implicated neurohypophyseal peptides as a neurobiological mechanism responsible for the regulation of complex social behaviours. The most common cause is a primary deficiency of ADH secretion, usually referred to as pituitary, neurogenic, neurohypophyseal, cranial, or central diabetes insipidus.
