If any of the blood vessels in the brain were severed, I would think that the effects of bleeding would be so great that you wouldn't need to worry about hormone changes.
However, since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "<I>posterior pituitary</I>" to get this:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.
