Hypothalamus

•  Homeostatic control centers •  Thalamus – “relay station” and sensory

integration •  Hypothalamus

•  Hunger/Satiety •  Thirst: Body osmolarity •  “Fight or flight” response •  Rage – fear... •  Control of biological rythms •  Endocrine and ANS synchrony

Midbrain (Diencephalon)

Hypothalamus

Midbrain

Pons

Hypophysis

Hypothalamus

Hipotalamus

Blood P; mydriasis, shivering

GIS uyarımı

Satiety, Neuroendocrine control

Feeding reflexes

ADH

Oxytocin, water retention

Blood P; bladder contraction

Neuroendocrine control

Hunger

Hypothalamus

Paraventricular nucleus: Oxytocin+ADH

Medial preoptic area: Bladder contraction Heart rate Blood pressure#

Supraoptic nucleus: ADH release

Posterior preoptic and anterior hypothalamus: Body temperature Respiration Sweating

Hypothalamus

Lateral hypothalamus: Thirst and hunger; Rage!

Arcuate nuclei: Dopamine, GHRH #

Periventricular area: Neuroendocrine control

Mamillary body: Recognition memory, feeding reflexes

Ventromedial nucleus: Satiety center, NE control

Perifornical area: Hunger, Blood pressure , anger

Hypothalamus

Dorsomedial neucleus: GIS Stimulation

Posterior hypothalamus: Blood pressure Pupil dilatation Shivering

Suprachiasmatic nucleus: Biological rhythms Control of the pineal gland

Hypothalamus – Coronal Sections

•  Lateral Hypothalamus & Medial Forebrain bundle •  Hunger •  Thirst •  Emotional drive

Hypothalamus

•  Lateral Hypothalamus •  Rage-Euphoria-Fight

•  Ventromedial nucleus •  Satiety-calmness

•  Periventricular area •  Punishment-fear

•  Anterior-posterior hypothalamus •  Sexual instincts

Hypothalamus and Behavior

•  Punishment-Reward System •  Reward centers

•  Lateral hypothalamus •  Ventromedial hypoth. •  Secondary areas:

• Septum • Amygdala • Thalamus • Basal ganglia – basal tegmentum

Hypothalamus and Behavior

•  Punishment-Reward System •  Punishment centers

•  Periventricular area* •  Lateral hypothalamus*

•  Suppressing centers: •  VM nucleus •  Hippocampus •  Anterior limbic cortex

Hypothalamus and Behavior

Hypothalamus and Endocrine control

The Limbic System

•  Limbus: Border, circle •  Limbic system

•  Cingulate gyrus – emotions and behavior; decision…

•  Hippocampus – learning and memory; navigation

•  Amygdala – emotions and emotinal memory

The Limbic System

The Limbic System

•  Limbic System •  Cingulate gyrus •  Hippocampus •  Amygdala •  Hypothalamus

• Mamillary body •  Septum •  Orbitofrontal cortex….

The Limbic System

The Limbic System

The Limbic System - Hippocampus

•  Hippocampal formation •  Hippocampus proper

•  (Cornu ammonis-CA) •  Gyrus dentatus •  Subiculum •  Enthorhinal cortex •  Fornix

The Limbic System - Hippocampus

•  Hippocampal formation •  Paleocortex

• Laminated structure •  Learning and memory •  Short-term memory

• LTP!

Amygdala

Coronal section

Limbic System – Amygdala – Fear&Phobias

Limbic System – Amygdala

•  Cooperative function of: •  Hypothalamus, limbic system and cortex

•  Feelings: Pleasure, sexual arousal, anger and fear; limited concious control – “hard to block"

•  Motivation: “driving power“; increases arousal; goal-directed behavioral coordination

Feelings and motivation

Kluver-Bucy Syndrome

•  Extensive damage in limbic structure •  Feeding disturbances •  Hypersexuality •  Oral focusing •  Loss of fear •  Submission •  Dementia/aphasia/amnesia •  Visual agnosia

Learning and memory circuits

Hippocampus

Thalamus

Frontal cortex

Cortical regions

enough for us to understand it, we would be too simple to
