Prolactin Inhibiting Factor Release
Any process in which the monoamine neurohormone dopamine is released from the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus and binds to receptors in the anterior pituitary, resulting in inhibition of secretion of prolactin. This process is involved in terminating the production of milk once lactation is complete. (NCI Thesaurus)
