The neuroendocrine reflex is initiated by stimulation of sensory neurons that cause a release of a neurohormone from the neurosecretory cells. It is the simple neural reflex that controls the neuroendocrine reflex. The natural progression of events in this system is sensory nerves respond to a stimulus, be it thermal, tactile, or visual. These sensory nerves then synapse with interneurons in the spinal cord. Where efferent neurons, or neurons conducting impulses outwards from the brain or spinal cord, travel to the hypothalamus where the hypothalamic neurons release neurohormones. These neurohormones then enter the blood and activate the target tissues, such as the anterior lobe of the pituitary, mammary glands, or the epididymis. Senger, P.L.

it is a pattern of hormone communication (in the endocrine system), wherein the hormone is secreted by a nerve cell into the bloodstream and acts on cells at a distance.
