  <title>Model Structure</title>

<para>
Prolactin (PRL) is a hormone which is synthesised and secreted by lactotrophs in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.  It plays an important role in lactation, and also contributes to a wide range of physiological functions.  Its release is inhibited by dopamine (DA), and is stimulated by oxytocin (OT).  Neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus are major sites of OT synthesis, and they themselves are influenced by the secretion of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN).  The SCN is also part of the hypothalamus, and is known for its pacemaker function, often regulating the timing of circadian rhythms in mammals. 
</para>

<para>
In the paper described here, Egli <emphasis>et al.</emphasis> present a mathematical model of the mechanisms regulating the rhythmic secretion of prolactin in rats (see figure below).  In this model the SCN acts as a pacemaker, controlling the activity of the hypothalamic DA and OT neurons via its rhythmic VIP secretion.  In turn, the activity of these DA and OT neurons combine to determine the PRL secretory pattern.

<caption>Schematic diagram of the network proposed to be involved in the regulation of prolactin (PRL) secretion in  response to uterine cervical stimulation (CS).  Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) is secreted from the suprachiasmatic nucleus and relays the time of day to DAergic and OTergic neurosecretory cells via inhibition.  x represents an additional stimulatory input which feeds into the OT neurons.  DA neurons provide an inhibitory input while OT neurons provide a stimulatory input to the lactotrophs to regulate the synthesis and secretion of PRL.</caption>
