A model for pulsatility in neuroendocrine regulation is proposed which combines Goodwin-type feedback control with impulsive input from neurons located in the hypothalamus. The impulsive neural input is modeled using an integrate-and-fire mechanism; namely, inputs are generated only when the membrane potential crosses a threshold, after which it is reset to baseline. The resultant model takes the form of a functional-differential equation with continuous and impulsive components. Despite the impulsive nature of the inputs, realistic hormone profiles are generated, including ultradian and circadian rhythms, pulsatile secretory patterns, and even chaotic dynamics.
