[Projections of the posterior region of the hypothalamus into its medial, anterior and lateral region]. 1977

A A Filaretov, and L V Vasilevskaia

Effect of stimulation of the lateral and medial supramammillary areas of the hypothalamus was studied in acute experiments on rabbits. The firing of neurons was recorded in the anterior, lateral, dorsal medial and ventral medial hypothalamic areas. Single pulse stimulation of the medial area of the posterior hypothalamus caused changes in discharge rate for 44% of neurons and the stimulation of the lateral area for 35% of the examined neurons. Repetitive stimulation resulted in changes of the discharge rate in 57% of neurons during stimulation of the lateral and in 74% of the medial supramammillary area. Most neurons responded by excitation. The data obtained are discussed from the view point of the role of posterior hypothalamus in the regulation of the adenohypophysis functions.

D007031	Hypothalamus	Ventral part of the DIENCEPHALON extending from the region of the OPTIC CHIASM to the caudal border of the MAMMILLARY BODIES and forming the inferior and lateral walls of the THIRD VENTRICLE.

D007032	Hypothalamus, Anterior	The front portion of the HYPOTHALAMUS separated into the preoptic region and the supraoptic region. The preoptic region is made up of the periventricular GRAY MATTER of the rostral portion of the THIRD VENTRICLE and contains the preoptic ventricular nucleus and the medial preoptic nucleus. The supraoptic region contains the PARAVENTRICULAR HYPOTHALAMIC NUCLEUS, the SUPRAOPTIC NUCLEUS, the ANTERIOR HYPOTHALAMIC NUCLEUS, and the SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEUS.

D007033	Hypothalamus, Middle	Middle portion of the hypothalamus containing the arcuate, dorsomedial, ventromedial nuclei, the TUBER CINEREUM and the PITUITARY GLAND.

D007034	Hypothalamus, Posterior	The part of the hypothalamus posterior to the middle region consisting of several nuclei including the medial maxillary nucleus, lateral mammillary nucleus, and posterior hypothalamic nucleus (posterior hypothalamic area). The posterior hypothalamic area is concerned with control of sympathetic responses and is sensitive to conditions of decreasing temperature and controls the mechanisms for the conservation and increased production of heat.
