The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain and is divided into three lobes - the anterior, intermediate, and posterior lobes. The anterior lobe secretes growth hormone and regulates other important hormones like gonadotrophin and prolactin. The intermediate lobe secretes melanocyte stimulating hormone to control skin and hair pigmentation. The posterior lobe releases oxytocin and vasopressin to regulate body processes like lactation and blood pressure.

Imprinting is a type of learning that occurs early in life where animals form attachments to the first moving object they encounter, often their mother. This helps the young animal recognize and follow their parent for survival needs. Imprinting was first studied by Konrad Lorenz in geese who would imprint and follow Lorenz as if he was their mother.
