supraoptic

As a male neurologist, I can tell you that less than 0.25% of brain mass is sexually dimorphic hypothalamic preoptic area, ventromedial nucleus and supraoptic area and that is hypothalamic, related, so far as we know, to chemical and hormonal regulation.

The neurons of the supraoptic nucleus are magnocellular neurosecretory neurons - large neuroendocrine neurons which secrete their products, the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin into the circulation from their nerve endings in the posterior pituitary gland.

This led him to an early awareness of the dynamic nature of the interrelationship between glial cells in the supraoptic nucleus and the neurones, and between the glial cells (pituicytes) in the posterior pituitary and the neurosecretory nerve endings there; two classic papers published with Charles Tweedle in in 1976 and 1977, showed clearly using electron microscopy that the anatomical relationships of these elements was not fixed but dynamically regulated in different physiological states
