Neuroscience humor. Studying CRH-PVN neurons and stress this week.
Who's there?
CRH.
CRH who?
CRH releasing PVN, causing stress to you!
And a longer one
Knock Knock
Who's there?
CRH
CRH who?
CRH hormone activating HPA axis and releasing cortisol in response to stress.
Oh I see, who's next?
PVN
PVN who?
PVN, the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus that produced and releases CRH stress signals from the amygdala.
Ah, got it. What's the punchline?
Stress is no match for CRH and PVN's ability to control it - they's the stress-busting duo.
