(A) OXT and AVP are synthesized in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and the supraoptic nucleus (SON) of the hypothalamus. The peptidergic neurons in these nuclei project axons to the posterior pituitary, from where the peptides are released into the circulation. They act as hormones on peripheral targets, having well-d... |
