Releasing hormones synthesized by hypothalamic neurons travel down axons and diffuse into the primary plexus of the hypophyseal portal system.lthough the hypothalamus does not produce the hormones of the anterior pituitary as in the posterior pituitary, it plays an important role in their production.
