Functional anatomy of the hypothalamus

  • Chapter
Pharmacology of the Hypothalamus

Abstract

The hypothalamus, part of the diencephalon, is a rather small region of the brain. The human hypothalamus weighs about 4 grammes and thus represents only 0.3 per cent of the whole brain. In spite of its small size it plays a fundamental role in homeostasis as well as in reproduction. The structural organisation of this diencephalic region is most informative about the complex and manifold interrelated functions which have largely been discovered in this century, some significant contributions having been made in the last decades.
