MeSH Heading: Hypothalamus, Posterior
Tree Number(s): A08.186.211.180.497.362; A08.186.211.200.317.357.362
Unique ID: D007034
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D007034
Annotation: diseases: coordinate IM with HYPOTHALAMIC DISEASES (IM)
Scope Note: 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.
Entry Term(s): Area Hypothalamica Posterior; Hypothalamic Region, Posterior; Hypothalamus Posterior; Mammillary Region; Posterior Hypothalamic Region; Posterior Hypothalamus; Posterior Periventricular Nucleus; Premammillary Nucleus; Supramammillary Commissure; Supramammillary Nucleus
