A study led by researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has implicated several genes involved in a variety of bodily functions associated with the hypothalamus, a notoriously ...

The hypothalamus is involved during the coordination of neuroendocrine functions in vertebrates and their evolutionary origin can be described using integrated transcriptome or connectome brain maps ...

Hypothalamic neurons encode sleep–wake states, but their long-term stability is unclear. Here, authors show that although single-cell state selectivity drifts over days, the overall ensemble ...

The hypothalamus is a small region of the human brain typically associated with regulating body temperature, hunger, thirst, fatigue, and sleep. But it also has another important role: helping the ...

The hypothalamus is a small but critical region at the base of the brain that controls the autonomic nervous system, regulates body temperature, signals hunger and thirst, exerts hormonal control over ...

The hypothalamus is a small but complex region of the brain. It has links with both the nervous system as well as the endocrine system. Although shaped and sized like an almond, there are nuclei ...

The endocrine system comprises glands and tissues that produce hormones for regulating and coordinating vital bodily functions. This article, the second in an eight-part series, looks at the ...

The hypothalamus is a small almond shaped organ in the lower part of the brain. However, this small organ has numerous connections that help it play an important role in connecting the nervous system ...

If you are reading this and you don’t smoke, then your major risk factor for dying is probably your age. That’s because we have nearly eliminated mortality in early life, thanks to advances in science ...

A new study has implicated several genes involved in a variety of bodily functions associated with the hypothalamus, a notoriously difficult-to-study region of the brain. The findings could help ...
