The rat hypothalamus, which resembles in many respects the human hypothalamus in structure and function, appears to be a suitable model for detailed research. As will be later apparent, methods used to study the rat hypothalamus in vitro differ to a considerable extent according to a number of ...

Central Integration of Autonomic Function The hypothalamus is a prominent component of the central network of neurons that regulates autonomic function. Descending projections from the hypothalamus to autonomic cell groups in the brain stem and spinal cord exert a strong influence upon the sympathetic (...
Structure and Location of the Hypothalamus The hypothalamus is a small, pear-shaped structure located in the middle of the brain. It is a tiny yet crucial structure bridging the circulatory, nervous, and endocrine systems, regulating vital body functions in accordance with the pituitary gland. ...

A major function of the nervous system is to maintain the constancy of the internal environment. In 1878, Claude Bernard pointed out the remarkable distinction between our highly variable external environment (i.e., the environment that we live in and that is subject to major changes with regard...
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). The function of this hormone is to stimulate the release ofLHandFSH. The effect of LH and FSH explains the influence ofnerve impulsesin the control ofgonadal function. It is a linear decapeptide that has a pyroglutamic moiety at the N-terminal end and ...
