Hypothalamic Nuclei, Composite. These images show close-up views of the medial surface of the diencephalon illustrating positions of the main nuclei and the three regions of the hypothalamus from anterior to posterior (indicated by the yellow lines in A). Each region and zone contains several nuclei, but only the major nuclei from the medial zones are indicated here. The paraventricular (PV), anterior (A), and supraoptic and suprachiasmatic (both included as S) nuclei are in the anterior region; the dorsomedial (DM), ventromedial (VM) and arcuate (ARC) are in the tuberal or middle region; and the mammillary (M) and posterior nuclei (P) are in the posterior region. The following frames show these nuclei in histological sections. The image in B shows the structures of the most ventral part of the hypothalamus. The tuber cinereum (TC) is the swelling at the base of the infundibulum (INF). The median eminence (ME) is the central part of that floor to which is attached the infundibulum. The infundibulum or infundibular stalk suspends the pituitary gland (or hypophysis). From the Neuroanatomy Interactive Syllabus. Copyright 1998, University of Washington.
