PUBERTY




Hypothalamic Neurone Release of GnRH

  • Hypothalamic development occurs gradually with growth of the animal.
  • The Hypothalamus contains a tonic GnRH centre and a preovulatory GnRH 'surge' centre.
  • Before puberty can occur, full neural activity of the surge centre must be achieved.
