==Introduction==
Puberty is the process of aquiring reproductive capability. The onset of puberty depends on the ability of specific [[Hypothalamus_- Anatomy & Physiology#Hypothalamus|hypothalamic]] neurons to produce GnRH in sufficient quantities to both promote and support gametogenesis. In the female, [[Hypothalamus_- Anatomy & Physiology#Hypothalamus|hypothalamic]] GnRH neurons must develop the ability to respond to positive oestradiol feedback in order to produce sufficient GnRH to cause [[Ovulation - Anatomy & Physiology|ovulation]].
