Abstract
The subfornical organ (SFO), the hypothalamic supraoptic nuclei (SON) and the paraventricular nuclei (PVN), and the neurohypophysis (NH) comprise an important central nervous system integrative network, which is involved in the maintenance of cardiovascular and body fluid homeostasis. Magnocellular SON and PVN neurons receive neural projections from the SFO and synthesize the hormone vasopressin, which is stored in the NH nerve terminals and released into the circulation in response to changes in blood volume, extracellular osmolarity, and blood pressure (1). Dysfunction of these structures can result in pathophysiologic states, such as arterial hypertension and diabetes insipidus.
