Interaction Between Endocrine and Nervous SystemsMalven, P., V.
doi: 10.2307/1295306pmid: N/A
Abstract The reciprocal influences (i.e., interaction) between the central nervous system (CNS) and the anterior pituitary-ovarian axis have been reviewed. The concept is well established that the CNS, and particularly an area of the medial basal hypothalamus, regulates pituitary secretion by hormonal substances carried in the hypophysial portal blood vessels. Both ovarian and pituitary hormones appear to exert feedback actions on those CNS structures which control the pituitary gland. This content is only available as a PDF.

The Bursa of Fabricius: A Central IssueGlick,, Bruce
doi: 10.2307/1295307pmid: N/A
Abstract The normal ontogeny of the bursa of Fabricius is necessary for the successful genesis of antibody-mediated immunity, while the avian thymus appears to control cell-mediated immunity. Regression-regeneration experiments suggest that the thymic-dependent system is better buffered than the bursal-dependent system. A mammalian equivalent of the bursa may exist. Clarification of the mechanism of bursa action is necessary to understand the control of immunoglobulin or antibody production. This content is only available as a PDF.

Behavior—GeneticsSiegel, Paul, B.
doi: 10.2307/1295308pmid: N/A
Abstract Consideration of behavior and of genetics may be viewed from two vantage points, namely, how behaviors influence selection and what are the genetic bases for behaviors. This paper reviews the interplay and interlocking of the two areas and discusses insights obtained from the combined disciplines. This content is only available as a PDF.
