This page covers biological details of component Anterior 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) -> Anterior Hypothalamic Nucleus (LAC.FD.HT.AH) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Autonomous Control Area
• Role: processor.autonomic
• Function: Thermoregulation, panting, sweating
