There is negative feedback between the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. The hypothalamus secretes corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), which binds to the CRF-1 receptor. This leads to ...

That is about to all change as a result of the first “map” of the human hypothalamus that has been published by researchers at Cambridge University. The combination of targeting these two ...

The hypothalamus is a central region of the brain that controls vital functions such as sleep, body temperature, hunger and thirst. Because the human brain is difficult to study, much knowledge about ...

By applying deep brain stimulation (DBS) to an unexpected region in the brain—the lateral hypothalamus (LH)—the team has improved the recovery of lower limb movements in two individuals with ...

We determined whether neural connections between the kidneys and hypothalamus can explain the compensatory increase in glucose production. In addition, we performed plasma proteomics analyses to ...

It produces a hormone instructing the pituitary gland to secrete two essential hormones: luteinizing (LH) and follicle-stimulating (FSH). A dysfunctional hypothalamus or pituitary gland can ...

These hormones are crucial in regulating spermatogenesis, making them central to our approach. The hypothalamus secretes GnRH, which triggers the pituitary gland to secrete FSH and LH. In the testicle ...

The third ventricle, a funnel-shaped cavity between the brain's two hemispheres, helps to produce and secrete cerebrospinal fluid. The hypothalamus has many functions, the primary being to release ...

The hypothalamus secretes hormones that stimulate or suppress the release of hormones in the pituitary gland, in addition to controlling water balance, sleep, temperature, appetite, and blood pressure ...

These cues did not come out of thin air—they are the work of an almond-sized region in the brain called the hypothalamus. This area of the brain, despite its tiny size, has an enormous job in ...

Although shaped and sized like an almond, there are nuclei within the hypothalamus that are involved in many different functions. The cells in the two major nuclei secrete vasopressin (ADH ...
