Hypothalamus
Medial Region
Supraoptic
Paraventricular
ADH/Oxytocin
Osmoreceptors are located in Anterior hypothalamus
Under control of Leptin which Increases TRH production
Production center for TRH
Corticotropin Release Hormone
Supraoptic
ADH/Oxytocin/CRH
Medial Preoptic
GnRH
suprachiasmatic
Circadian Clock
Tuberal
Ventromedial
Satiety
Lesion will cause result in hyperphagia
Stimulation will cause cessation fo feeding
Anterior
Stimulation will decrease Body Temperature/ Parasympathetic
Lesion will result in hyperthermia
Arcuate
Release of GHRH
Under dual antagonistic control of Leptin
Leptin will increases production of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) which is converted into α-MSH and that acts on the paraventricular nucleus to increase TRH.
It decreases the production of agouti-related protein (AgRP ), which acts on the paraventricular nucleus to decrease TRH
Dorsomedial
GI Tract
Under tonic inhibition
Periventricular
GIH or somatostatin release
Dopamine or PIF release
mammillary
mammillary
Suckling Reflex
Posterior
When stimulated increased shivering
Sympathetic Nervous System
Lesion (Horners) will increased BP and decrease Body Temp which may result in shivering
Lateral Hypothalamic Region
Appetite and Thirst regulation
Lesion of the lateral hypothalamus leads to loss of appetite (aphagia), starvation, and death
