Ventrolateral Preoptic Nucleus

@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaLAC -> BrainRegionLAC_FD_HT_VLPO


This page covers biological details of component Ventrolateral Preoptic 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) -> Chiasmatic Area (LAC.FD.HT.CHS) -> Preoptic Nucleus (LAC.FD.HT.PO) -> Ventrolateral Preoptic Nucleus (LAC.FD.HT.VLPO) (see Mind Maps)
  • Type: nucleus
  • Brain area: Lower Brain - Autonomous Control Area
  • Role: processor.autonomic
  • Function: mediates non-REM sleep onset
  • Notes to function: lesions in VLPO result in insomnia
