ABSTRACT
A study was made of the control of the hypothalamus and neuroendocrine complex by the specialized receptors the eye, the ear and the olfactory complex. The ancient and modern evidence that light, acting on the optic system, can influence hypothalamic, hypophyseal, endocrine reactions was reviewed and the recently acquired evidence that an optic-hypothalamic-autonomic-pineal-hypothalamic circuit exists which controls liberation of [quot ]releasing hormones[quot ]. Evidence was presented to show that the ear and eye, extero-and interoceptive influences affect lactation and oxytocin secretion by action through the hypothalamus. It was also shown that electrochemical stimulation of the olfactory bulbs can affect both sexual behavior and gonadotropin secretion. Finally, it was shown that the olfactory system exerts some control over water intake, sodium appetite and antidiuretic hormone secretion. Progress in a long term cooperative study of the role of exteroceptor control of neuroendocrine functions was reported.
