* Neural tissue of the pituitary gland, also known as the neurohypophysis. It consists of the distal AXONS of neurons that produce VASOPRESSIN and OXYTOCIN in the SUPRAOPTIC NUCLEUS and the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS. These axons travel down through the MEDIAN EMINENCE, the INFUNDIBULAR STALK, to the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. (MSH) * The neural or post-neural lobe of the pituitary gland which stores and releases vasopressin, oxytocin, and neurophysins. (NCI) * posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, making up the neural portion, including the infundibulum or neural stalk, continuous with the hypothalamus; serves as a reservoir for neurohormones vasopressin, oxytocin, and neurophysin.
