Inappropriate secretion of anterior pituitary gland hormones. The most common hormones involved in over-secretion are SOMATOTROPIN (which may cause ACROMEGALY) and PROLACTIN (which results in HYPERPROLACTINEMIA). THYROTROPIN; luteinizing hormone (LH); CORTICOTROPIN; and FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE may also be secreted at inappropriate levels. Hypersecretion syndromes are frequently associated with the presence of a pituitary ADENOMA (see also PITUITARY NEOPLASMS).

Pyramidal Cells
- Projection neurons in cerebral cortex hippocampus. Pyramidal cells a pyramid-shaped soma with apex apical dendrite pointed toward pial surface and other dendrites an axon emerging from base. The axons may have local collaterals but also project outside their cortical region.
