The lateral hypothalamus is a brain region historically implicated in reward and motivation 1,2,3,4, but the identity of the neurotransmitters involved are unknown.The orexins (or hypocretins) are ...

Over a short period in the late 1990s, three groups converged on the discovery of a neuropeptide system, centred in the dorsolateral hypothalamus, that regulates arousal states, influences feeding ...

"This research highlights the unexpected role of the lateral hypothalamus, a brain region not previously associated with locomotion in humans," lead researcher Dr. Grégoire Courtine, professor of ...

Neuroscientists studied the effects of stimulating the PVN, discovering its connection to the lateral hypothalamus (LH), which regulates hunger and wakefulness. “Activating CRHPVN neurons impairs ...

"The lateral hypothalamus and the pedunculopontine nucleus, which play a key role in initiating movement—as our research group has previously shown—are found in the brain of all vertebrates, ...

The lateral hypothalamus (LH) or lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) is known as the ‘hunger center’ of the brain. One of its main functions is stimulating feeding behavior; when it’s stimulated ...

Similar tests in the lateral hypothalamus also influenced particular social behaviors as a mouse under magnetic field influence became more friendly toward other, unknown mice.

The hypothalamus via various mechanisms controls appetite and food intake. ... (VMN), dorsomedial nucleus (DMN), paraventricular nucleus (PVN), and lateral hypothalamus (LH).

The lateral hypothalamus’ role in walking recovery. The identification of the LH as a key player in motor recovery after paralysis is in itself an important scientific discovery, ...

It was then time to try deep brain stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus in people paralyzed by spinal cord injury. Brain scans were used to guide and implant electrodes in the brains of two ...
