Abstract

Gonadal functions are governed by the hypothalamo-hypophyseal system. Other organs of the reproduction tract are under the regulatory action of gonadal steroids. In the past two decades several data have been accumulated on the involvement of fine-tuning control mechanisms which include autocrine and paracrine effects of biologically active substances produced locally and the regulatory action of nerves innervating the organs of the system. Recent studies using the viral transsynaptic technique have revealed cell groups in the central nervous system that are transneuronally connected with the male and female reproductive organs. This review summarizes neuromorphological data on the supraspinal innervation of reproductive organs and the functional significance of these brain areas in the control of reproduction.
