What are the Clinical Implications of Neurosecretory Cells?
Dysfunction in neurosecretory cells can lead to multiple disorders. For instance, insufficient secretion of vasopressin results in diabetes insipidus, characterized by excessive urination and thirst. Abnormal oxytocin levels have been linked to psychiatric conditions like autism and social anxiety disorders. Understanding these cells' function and pathology can pave the way for targeted therapies in such conditions.
