Tuberoinfundibular pathway

Group of dopamine neurons that project from arcuate nucleus in hypothalamus

The tuberoinfundibular pathway refers to a population of dopamine neurons that project from the arcuate nucleus in the tuberal region of the hypothalamus to the median eminence. It is one of the four major dopamine pathways in the brain. Dopamine released at this site inhibits the secretion of prolactin from anterior pituitary gland lactotrophs by binding to dopamine receptor D2.
