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

• *Top-down path to region*: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Hypothalamus (HTA.FD.HT) -> Anterior Hypothalamus Area (HTA.FD.HT.AHT) -> Tuberal Area (HTA.FD.HT.TUB) -> Arcuate Nucleus of Hypothalamus (LAC.FD.HT.AR) (see Mind Maps)
• *Type*: nucleus
• *Brain area*: Lower Brain - Autonomous Control Area
• *Role*: relay
• *Function*: Regulation of growth, appetite and body weight
• *Notes to function*: lateral of tuberlulum, TIDA - releases dopamine to regulate secretion of prolactin hormone, GHRH - stimulate growth hormone secretion (ventrolateral)
