This conference illustrates this team approach to a field that, super-specialized as it may seem, considers the patient as a whole. Various behavioral, neurological, ophthalmological, radiological, endocrinological, neurosurgical, and general medical aspects of disease in the hypothalamic-pituitary feedback systems are reviewed in detail. In addition, new approaches to the better diagnosis and treatment of neuroendocrine disease are presented....References1.
