Avp (Arginine Vasopressin) Neurons is an important component in the neurobiology of neurodegenerative diseases. This page provides detailed information about its structure, function, and role in disease processes.
AVP neurons produce arginine vasopressin, involved in water retention, blood pressure, and social behavior.
