Specialized groups of neuroendocrine cells can be found at the base of the [[third ventricle]] in the [[brain]] (in a region called the [[hypothalamus]]). This area controls most [[anterior pituitary]] cells and thereby regulates functions in the entire body, like responses to [[stress (biology)|stress]], cold, [[sleep]], and the [[reproductive system]]. The neurons send processes to a region connecting to the [[pituitary stalk]] and [[releasing hormone]]s are delivered into the bloodstream. They are carried by portal vessels to the [[pituitary]] cells where they may stimulate, inhibit, or maintain the function of a particular cell type.
