Aim(s): In the present work, we review trends in “neuroendocrine” and related terms on Google.

Materials and methods: Google searches about “neuroendocrine” (English) and “neuroendocrino” (Spanish/Italian) in the last 5 years were analysed using the Google Trends webpage. Google Trends report results in an aggregated way.
