The [[brain]] is the central controller of [[reproduction]] and the [[menstrual cycle]]. Reproductive endocrinologists spend their days treating [[patient]]s with perturbations in reproduction as a result of [[pituitary]] diseases and manipulate pituitary [[hormone]]s to enhance [[fertility]] and [[quality of life]]. Microscopic neuroanatomical images will allow a better understanding of how a [[tumor]] in the pituitary might affect [[vision]], or a mass in the brain might cause [[amenorrhea]]. Clinical correlations that are taught every day become much clearer once the anatomical relationships are explored. The objective of a pictorial tour of Vlasak et al., from Gainesville is to elucidate anatomical and clinical relationships while showcasing the [[neuroanatomy]] of reproduction
