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...

The mediobasal hypothalamus (MBH), situated posterior to the optic chiasm and overlying the pituitary, is a collective anatomical structure comprising the DMH, ventromedial (VMH), PVN, supraoptic, and arcuate (ARC) nuclei. From: Progress in Brain Research, 2012 ...
The hypothalamus is a small structure located at the base of the brain and connects the nervous system to the endocrine system. It is vital in regulating homeostatic functions such as emotions, weight, temperature, blood pressure, reproductive function, etc....
Name the major human body systems and relate their functions. List and explain the 3 general functions of the nervous system. Describe the structure and function of the endocrine system. Describe the three general functions of the nervous system. Name two functions controlled by the medulla oblonga...
The hypothalamus is part of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis which activates stress responses through release of cortisol. It is a small but heterogeneous structure comprising multiple nuclei. In vivo human neuroimaging has rarely succeeded in rec
In contrast to the cortex that is organized in a columnar structure, hypothalamic neurons form multiple functional nuclei arrayed in a three-dimensional structure to regulate behavior2,3,4. Each hypothalamic nucleus is distinguished by its location in the rostral–caudal axis and plays specific or ...
M.O’Hare,R.P.Cowan, inSleep and Neurologic Disease, 2017 The Hypothalamus is a Key Structure Linking Headache and Sleep Hypothalamic structures are vital for maintaining wakefulness, and significant lesions of the posterolateralhypothalamusresult in an unremitting sleep-like state.62The importance of...
Hippocampus:a tiny nub that acts as a memory indexer – sending memories out to the appropriate part of the cerebral hemisphere for long-term storage and retrieving them when necessary. Hypothalamus:about the size of a pearl, this structure directs a multitude of important functions. It wakes ...
