@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaLAC -> BrainRegionLAC_FD_HT_VM

This page covers biological details of component Ventromedial Hypothalamic Nucleus. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Hypothalamus (FD.HT) -> Anterior Hypothalamus Area (LAC.FD.HT.AHT) -> Tuberal Area (LAC.FD.HT.TUB) -> Ventromedial Hypothalamic Nucleus (LAC.FD.HT.VM) (see Mind Maps)
Type: nucleus
Brain area: Lower Brain - Autonomous Control Area
Role: processor.autonomic
Function: Satiety, control of eating
Notes to function: medial of tuberculum
