the development of mammary gland tissue and milk production (lactogensis). During infant feeding‚ the never ending in the nipples becomes stimulated causing the release of prolactin-secreting hormones by the hypothalamus. This spinal reflex (neuroendocrine reflex) stimulates the production of prolactin. Before a woman gives birth the prolactin is inhibited by the neurotransmitter dopamine. Additionally‚ the hormone progesterone inhibits milk secretion in the breasts. However‚ after delivery‚
