Abstract
Two distinct subgroups of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neuron s are involved in the control of luteinizing hormone secretion, at lea st in mts: one subgroup located in the mediobasal hypothalamus constit utes the GnRH pulse generator associated with opioid neurons, and the other located in the preoptic area constitutes the GnRH surge generato r associated with gamma-aminobutyric acid neurons.
