Preferred Label : hypothalamus, posterior;
MeSH definition : The part of the hypothalamus posterior to the middle region consisting of several
nuclei including the medial maxillary nucleus, lateral mammillary nucleus, and posterior
hypothalamic nucleus (posterior hypothalamic area). The posterior hypothalamic area
is concerned with control of sympathetic responses and is sensitive to conditions
of decreasing temperature and controls the mechanisms for the conservation and increased
production of heat.;
