HYPOTHALAMUS Latin word – Hypo- below; Thalamus – room or
chamber Very small part of brain weighing about 4 gms. Regulate all vegetative & endocrine process. Main organ of integration of homeostasis. Bilateral diencephalic structure, diffuse nuclear
mass below the thalamus.
Monday, May 1, 2023
HYPOTHALAMUS The most ventral part of diencephalon which lies
below the thalamus 4 gram in weight (whole brain wt 1400gms) 0.3 to 0.5% of total brain Sherrington regarded as head ganglion of ANS Nauta describes as the nodal region in the
maintenance of Homeostasis.

Autonomic functions. Sherrington –
describes as Head Ganglion.

Monday, May 1, 2023
AUTONOMIC FUNCTIONS. Cardiovascular
regulation.- Post & lat N stimulation – tachycardia ,HT & Cutaneous vasoconstriction.
Preoptic area opposite.
Monday, May 1, 2023
AUTONOMIC FUNCTIONS. Pupil size – post & Lat –
dilatation. And Preoptic & supraoptic opposite.
Peristaltic & Secretomotor functions of GIT – POST & LAT N decreases secretions & motility.
Ant & medial opposite.
Monday, May 1, 2023
Sleep –wake cycle. Ant hypothalamus –
sleep fascilitatory Post hypothalamus –
waking centre. Sleep – negative
Phenomenon. Inhibition of waking centre in post hypothalamus by ant hypothalamus – leads to sleep.
Monday, May 1, 2023
Food intake regulation. Feeding Centre.
Lat Hypothalamic N. Stimulations increases
food intake. Its destruction –
anorexia.
Satiety Centre. Feeling of fulfillment after
food intake. Ventromedial N of
Hypothalamus. Stimulation causes fulfillment
– stop food intake Destruction – Hyperphagia.
Monday, May 1, 2023
PRINCIPAL HYPOTHALAMIC POLYPEPTIDE.
Food intake increased by Neuropeptide Y. Orexin – A Orexin –B Melanin concentrating
hormone. (MCH) Ghrelin.
Food intake decreased by Cocacine &
amphetamine regulated transcript. (CART)
CRH.

Endocrinal functions. Anterior Pituitary.(through
Tubero-infundibular tract & hypophyseal portal system)
Controls Thyroid G. Controls Metabolism through
adrenal gland. Keep gonads inhibited. Control formation of milk by
prolactin secretion.
Posterior Pituitary regulate water balance through ADH.
Regulation Of Uterine Contractility & regulation of Milk Ejection from breast through oxytocin.

HYPOTHALAMO-HYPOPHYSIAL TRACT The
hypothalamus is a neuroendocrine area which acts as a "transducer" to convert neuronal activity into hormonal secretions
05/01/23 31
Controls anterior pitutary Several trophic factors or
hormones are released that influence the production of hormones in adenohypophysis.
05/01/23 32
05/01/23 33
Neuro-secretory cells
1. Receive and process stimuli from
all parts of the CNS,
2. Conduct action potentials along their axons, and
3. Synthesize and release hormones into the circulatory system.
05/01/23 34
Neuro-secretory cells4. produce peptide Prohormones
by mRNA on ribosomes in their nerve cell bodies, and then convert these Prohormones to
active hormones during the process of axoplasmic transport along axon filaments.
5. They store the hormones in vesicular granules at their axon terminals until depolarization of the plasma membrane causes Exocytosis.
05/01/23 35
HORMONES RELEASED
05/01/23 36
CONTROLS POSTERIOR PITUTARY It controls Neurohypophysis
through HYPOTHALAMO-HYPOPHYSEAL tract.
Approx. 100,000 Nonmyelinated fibers extend from the SON & PVN of the hypothalamus to the fenestrated capilary bed of the Neurohupophysis.
These fibers convey 2 peptide hormones; ADH & oxytocin

Circadian Rhythm control. Common rhythmic
variations in Secretion of ACTH. Secretion of Growth
Hormone. Secretion of melatonin. Sleep wake cycle. Body-temp rhythm. Rhythmic Gonadotrophins
secretion.
Basis of circadian rhythm. Supra-chiasmatic N. main
site Biological clock
Receives inputs from Eye – retinohypothalamic
fibres. Lateral geniculate N.

Circadian Rhythm control. Effect of
environmental factors on circadian rhythm.(HINTS) Light dark cycle Temperature. Meal timing.
Physiological significance. Enables homeostatic
mechanism to be used immediately & automatically.
Have effect on body’s resistance to drugs.
Disturbance of circadian rhythm. Speed jet travel – Jet lag.

SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR & REPRODUCTION.
Given by Brookhart & dey (1941)
Pathway-Amygdala – Stria terminalis - Preoptic area – Tuberal region.
Connection maintains basal secretion of GnRH.

RAGE Rage – violent & aggressive
emotional state by strong stimulation of Punishment Centre.
Kept in check by counterbalancing activity of Ventromedial N of hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala & ant portion of limbic cortex.
Characterized by – Development of
defense posture. Extension of limbs Lifting of tail. Hissing & splitting Piloerection. Wide openings of eye. Pupil dilation.

Due to release of hypothalamus from cortical control.
Emotions are not associated with it.
