Vasopressin and oxytocin are also synthesized in the parvocellular neurosecretory cells of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, which project to the median eminence, where they are transported and secreted into the hypophyseal portal system to stimulate the anterior pituitary.

Also in 1980, Konopka and Steven Wells reported an abnormality in the morphology of a neurosecretory cell group associated with the arrhythmic " per 01 " mutation and with 2 arrhythmic mutants of another fly strain, " Drosophila pseudoobscura ".

Arginine vasotocin ( AVT ), a hormone produced by neurosecretory cells within the posterior pituitary gland ( neurohypophysis ) of the brain, is a major endocrine regulator of water balance and osmotic homoeostasis and is involved in social and sexual behavior in non-mammalian vertebrates.
