Directionally, the hypothalamus is found in thediencephalon. It is inferior to thethalamus, posterior to the optic chiasm, and bordered on the sides by thetemporal lobesand optic tracts. The location of the hypothalamus, specifically its close proximity to and interactions with the thalamus and pit...
theneurohypophyseal hormonesare released into the generalcirculatory systemand are transported to reach their targets elsewhere in the body. This chapter begins with a detailed description of hypothalamic-anterior pituitary control, followed by a section on hypothalamic-posterior pituitary control (Box 38.1...
(Plum and Van Uitert, 1978). Nevertheless, the use of modern non-invasive techniques including computerized tomographic (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), has provided new information not previously available. This report will include the description of several cases recently seen in ...
7. Yet, the brain changes that accompany stress are insufficiently understood. Stress can be defined as an actual or anticipated disruption of homoeostasis or an anticipated threat to well-being8. Physiological and behavioural responses to acute stress are adaptive, spatially...

Definition The Hypothalamus is one portion of the Diencephalon that plays a vital role in nearly all aspects of motivated behavior, including feeding, sexual behavior, sleeping, temperature regulation, emotional behavior, endocrine function, and movement [ 4 ]. Description The Hypothalamus, in combinati...
The hypothalamus is concerned with generalized response patterns that often involve autonomic, somatomotor and endocrine systems. Following a brief description of the boundaries and subdivision of the hypothalamus (Sect. 13.2), the hypothalamic fibre connections with the CNS (Sect. 13.3) and with the ...
