the anterior pituitary and a rear lobe called the posterior pituitary. The brain controls the activity of the pituitary gland in two ways. Releasing hormones from the hypothalamus control the secretions of the anterior pituitary and are carried in the bloodstream by hypophyseal portal veins. The posterior pituitary releases hormones into the bloodstream in response to nerve impulses from the hypothalamus. Anterior Pituitary Gland: The anterior pituitary consists

of making an appropriate response - when given two conflicting signals - has tentatively been located in a part of the brain called the anterior cingulate. This is a region that lies between the right and left halves of the frontal portion of the brain. It is involved in a wide range of cognitive processes. Although the functions of the anterior cingulate are very complex‚ broadly speaking it acts as a conduit between lower‚ somewhat more impulse-driven brain regions and higher‚ somewhat
