Tuberoinfundibular tract

A further totally separate DA pathway arises from A12 in the arcuate nucleus and forms the tuberoinfundibular tract in the median eminence to the pituitary gland for controlling prolactin release. This is partly achieved by DA being released into capillaries of the hypothalamic-hypophyseal portal system and then inhibiting the prolactin releasing cells (lactotrophs) of the anterior pituitary. [Pg.138]
