Definition

:
Specialized
NEURONS
that produce
hormones
, such as
NEUROPEPTIDES
or
BIOGENIC AMINES
. They generally are in the
NERVOUS SYSTEM
, such as
HYPOTHALAMUS
, but can be found in other organs or systems. These
neurons
contain dense neurosecretory granules and
PROPROTEIN CONVERTASES
allowing the rapidly release of NEUROHORMONES into the
blood circulation
upon stimulation.
