Neuroendocrine Regulation of Metabolism and Human Development
Module code: BIS7021-B
Module Aims
To understand the:
Functional anatomy of the neuroendocrine system
Mechanisms regulating to hormone secretion and their sites of action in the central nervous system
Molecular mechanisms underlying biological timekeeping and their role in the regulation of the neuroendocrine axis e.g. appetite and body weight regulation
Role of hormones in reproduction, growth and development
Energy homeostasis and hormonal dysregulation in metabolism
Metabolic mechanisms that underlie age-related cognitive decline and dementia
