Neurosecretionis the synthesis and release ofhormonesfromneurons.These hormones are normally secreted from nerve cells in the brain that thencirculate into the blood. Theseneurohormonesaresimilar tononneuralendocrinecells and glands in that they also regulateboth endocrine and nonendocrinecells. Neurosecretion cells also releasetheir product farther than normal neurons, which only secrete short distances,into the extracellular spacesome distance from thetarget cell.
