A neurohormone is any hormone produced by neurosecretory cells, usually in the brain. Neurohormonal activity is distinguished from that of classical neurotransmitters as it can have effects on cells distant from the source of the hormone.

Neurohormones include:

GnRH Gonadotropin releasing hormone

CRH Corticotropin releasing hormone

TRH Thyrotropin-releasing hormone

Dopamine Prolactin inhibiting hormone

Orexin (aka hypocretin) Stimulates appetite
