- not comparablemedicineCausing differentiation between two states.
Thus, the dysregulation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis (endocrine dyscrasia) leads to altered (dyotic) signaling to somatic and reproductive tissues, driving re-entry of cells into the cell cycle.

In addition to the loss of neurons following the reactivation of the cell cycle in differentiated neurons, it is possible that dyotic signaling prevents normal neurogenesis from resident neural stem cells, thereby preventing replacement of neurons.
2011, Craig S. Atwood, Sivan Vadakkadath Meethal, Human Embryonic Stem Cells: A Model System for Delineating the Molecular Basis of Human Embryogenesis and Aging-related Diseases, page 261It presents the evidence that dyotic endocrine signals modulate the expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and related cytokines, and that these cytokines are a functionally important downstream link mediating neurodegeneration and dysfunction.
