Development of the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus
KM McClellan, KL Parker, S Tobet - Frontiers in neuroendocrinology, 2006 - Elsevier
The ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (VMH) is important in the regulation of
female sexual behavior, feeding, energy balance, and cardiovascular function. It is a highly
conserved nucleus across species and a good model for studying neuronal organization
into nuclei. Expression of various transcription factors, receptors, and neurotransmitters are
important for the development of this nucleus and for mapping the position of identified cells
within the nucleus. The VMH is subdivided into regions, all of which may project to specific …
