Adult Human Hypothalamus

  • a - Schematic drawing of hypothalamic nuclei, lateral view from the midline; left, nuclei directly located under the wall of the third ventricle; right, more deeply located nuclei up to the lateral region.
  • b - 3D overview of hypothalamic nuclei, constructed from a 3D high-field MRI data set; left, frontal view; intermediate, lateral view; right, medial view; the ventral tegmental area (VTA) is located within the retro hypothalamic region.
