tuberomammillary
mammilary body
lateral hypothalamus
major nuclei of tuberal region
dorsomedial
ventromedial
arcuate
lateral
anterior supraotic region major nuclei of
paraventricular anterior supraoptic suprachiasmatic lateral
major nuclei of atnerior preopitc region
medial preoptic
lateral preoptic
anterior region blood supply
anterior cerebral artery ACA
anterior communicationg artery
tuberal region blood supply
posterior communicating artery

posterior communicating
posterior cerebral arterty PCA
Basilar artery BA
lateral hypothalamus region blood supply
middle cerebal
anterior choroidal
Posterior nucleus
in posterior region
controls sympathetic system
descending hypothalamic fibers from here to T1-L2
fight or flight when stimulated
lesion gets horners syndrome
also controls thermoregulation via thermogeneises to conserve heat (vasoconstriction/shivering)
lesion gets poikilothermia
tuberomamillary nucleus
in posterior region
controls wakefulness
histaminergic
lesiong gets hypersomnia
mammilary body
in posterior region
consolidation of memory
papezs circuit for memory consolidation so limbic system
lesion or thiamine deficiency gets korsakoffs syndrome
korsakoffs syndrome
lesioned mammillary body
anterograde amnesia
confabulation
lateral hypothalamus
in posterior region
feeding and regulation of sleep/wake
lateral hypothalamus
in tuberal region feeding center stimulates hunger and feeding lesion for anorexia regulation of sleep/wake makes orexin defeicneciy makes narcolepsy more orexine stimulates appetite and wakefulness
ventromedial nucleus
in tuberal region satiety center promotes cessation of eating lesion for hyperphagia leptin sensitive neurons
dorsomedial nucleus
in tuberal region
control of feeding and body weight regulation
arcuate nucleus
in tuberal region secretes hypophyesial hormones TIDA GHRH controls feeding by being sensitive to leptin, ghrelin, and orexin
TIDA
tuberoinfundibular dopamine neurons that send DA through median eminance to inhibit prolactin form pituitary
GHRH
growht hormone releasing hormone
to median eminance to stimulate secreation of GF from anterior pituitary
leptin
from adipocytes
during nutrient abundance secretion increased to decrease appetite
during nutriet insufficiency leptin is decreased to increase appetite
ghrelin
from stomach
stimulates food intake
high levels when dieting
anterior nucleus
in anterior supraoptic region
controls parasympathetic system
descending hypothalamic fibers to CN II, VII, IX, X and S2-4
rest and digest
lesion and deficit to parasym
control thermoregulation via dissipation of heat
lesion for hyper thermia
suprachiasmatic nucleus
in anterior supraoptic region
controls circadian rhythms
pacemaker and 25 hour biological clock
light via retinohypothalmic tract adjusts to 24 hour clock
modulates pineal gland function (inhibits daytime melatonin)
lesion disterbs cyclic variations of bodily functions
supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei
in anterior supraoptic region
magno cellular release oxytocin of vasopressin in pituitary
vasopressin secreting neurons promote water retention
oxytocin secreting neurons promote milk let down and contraction of uterine muscles
lesion gets diabetes insipidus
