Kiss1 neurons in the mammalian brain release the neuropeptide kisspeptin, stimulating gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) release and activating the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis.

Adrenal function can be investigated using a plethora of methods, but acute slice preparations provide a unique approach, providing good access for experimental interventions while maintaining cellular interactions within the tissue.
