Its functions include elevation of blood pressure, pupillary dilation, and shivering or body heat conservation (thermoregulation). [1] Damage or destruction of this nucleus causes hypothermia.

This review highlights the key areas of research in the hypothalamic control of appetite. The hypothalamus consists of several nuclei that integrate peripheral signals, such as adiposity and ...

We find that, during both the executive and emotional tasks, higher illuminance triggered an activity increase over the posterior part of the hypothalamus, which includes part of the tuberomamillary ...

The authors found that parts of the hypothalamus are differently responding to illuminance. In particular, they found that the activity of the posterior hypothalamus increases while the activity of ...
