The ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (VMN, VMH or ventromedial hypothalamus) is a nucleus of the hypothalamus.In 2007, Kurrasch et al. found that the ventromedial hypothalamus is a distinct morphological nucleus involved in terminating hunger, fear, thermoregulation, and sexual activity. [1]
There are several circuits within the hypothalamus that contribute to its role in integrating appetite, the melanocortin pathway being the most well understood. [1] The circuit begins with an area of the hypothalamus, the arcuate nucleus , that has outputs to the lateral hypothalamus (LH) and ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), the brain's feeding ...

Energy intake is measured by the amount of calories consumed from food and fluids. [1] Energy intake is modulated by hunger, which is primarily regulated by the hypothalamus, [1] and choice, which is determined by the sets of brain structures that are responsible for stimulus control (i.e., operant conditioning and classical conditioning) and cognitive control of eating behavior.
David Booth carried out work that contradicted the theory that dual centres of the hypothalamus control eating, the lateral hypothalamus for hunger [2] and the ventromedial hypothalamus for satiety [3] and began to replace it with a theory of the control of food choice and intake through learnt connections distributed around the brain. [4]
This traditional list does not accord strictly with human thalamic anatomy. Nuclear groups of the thalamus include: . anterior nuclear group [1] (anteroventral, [2] anterodorsal, [3] anteromedial [4])
These neurons, generated from the ventral part of the periventricular epithelium during embryonic development, locate dorsally in the hypothalamus, becoming part of the ventromedial hypothalamic region. [3] [2] [4] The function of the arcuate nucleus relies on its diversity of neurons, but its central role is involved in homeostasis. The ...
