* The hypothalamus, located at the base of the brain, is sensitive to signals from sensory receptors and releases gonadotropin releasing hormones (GnRH) in response to environmental cues.
* The hypothalamus, located at the base of the brain, is sensitive to signals from sensory receptors and releases gonadotropin releasing hormones (GnRH) in response to environmental cues.
* GnRH travels from the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland.
