What is the effect of stimulating the hypothalamus in certain areas?
Stimulating specific areas of the hypothalamus can have various effects on the body and behavior. For example, stimulating the lateral hypothalamus can increase hunger and lead to increased food intake, while stimulating the ventromedial hypothalamus can suppress appetite and cause decreased food intake. Stimulating other areas of the hypothalamus can also regulate sleep, thirst, body temperature, and hormone release.
Where does the brain store memories?
The answer to this question is at best debated, but for all intents and purposes is unknown. While the hippocampus and surrounding cortical regions are necessary for memory formation and consolidation, it is unclear if there is a specific location where memories are stored per se. Individuals with anterograde amnesia usually have damage to the hippocampus, and while they cannot form new memories, typically still have access to memories preceding injury/disease onset, which would suggest the hippocampus does not "store" memories. The more likely way that memories are stored is that specific memories recruit specific populations of neurons which "code" a memory. The reinstatement or reactivation of those neurons in the specific pattern could potentially underlie the retrieval of a memory. Since neurons throughout the brain are involved in encoding and processing a stimulus - the visual cortex for what you see, the auditory for what you hear, and so forth - it is unlikely that there is any single region which stores memories.
What part of the brain controls reproduction?
The Pituitary Gland controls body growth. It only the size of a pea! Its job is to produce AND release hormones into your body that will make your grow. It also the starter of pituitary gland so you can thank the pituitary gland for that! Also it partner with some other hormones too, like the ones that control amount of sugar and water in your body.
Why the plant is very important?
plants are very important because they give out oxygen while photosynthesis,consumed by humans for respiration. trees give fruits,timber,wood,herbs and also plays an important part in country,s economy. they provide natural beauty. they prevent soil erosion,provide shade and habitat for wild life......
What part of the brain responsible for reasoning?
The cerebrum controls the memory. For memory there are three parts: Encoding which includes receiving, processing and combining information. Secondly, Storage which is making a permanent record and lastly Retrieval, or recall. The prefrontal cortex is involved in short term memory. The hippocampus is the storage area and can hold an unlimited amount. A person with damage here can not put memory into storage. See link below:
Can verbal or emotional abuse lead to ptsd?
The hippocampus is involved with memory. While it participates in verbal memory, it plays a particularly important in the memory of "context," or the time and place of events that have a strong emotional bias. Memories associated with strong emotions--such as fear—are marked in such a way that the memory retains its vividness in a very persistent way. This is what happens in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

What do people who must memorize a lot of information and remember it for a long time rely on more than most people?
Do it while you listen to soft music. The hippocampus and mnemonic techniques
What brain part keeps memories?
the cerebellum, my friend._____________Above answer is incorrect, the cerebellum is responsible for balance, gait, coordinated movements, etc. It is the hippocampus that is responsible for memory.
What part of the brain helps to regulate drives such as hunger and thirst and also plays an important role in emotions?
The short answer: the Hypothalamus.In detail:Hunger: Satiety and feeding centers are present in hypothalamus.Thirst: Osmoreceptors in anterior hypothalamus.Emotions: Mamillary nuclei below posterior hypothalamus which are also a part of limbic system in mammilothalamic tract.Other than this, Hypothalamus has following functions:Regulates body temperatureRegulates activity of anterior pituitary glandControls circadian rhythmControls sleep-waking cycleIntegrates control of cardiovascular systemIntegrates control of Autonomic Nervous System (Hypothalamus is also called as head ganglion of ANS)
What supplements do you need to take to keep your hypothalamus regulated?
This is an odd question because most people consider the hypothalamus to be the master regulator of the body. While the hypothalamus is itself regulated by feedback mechanisms and descending control pathways from the brain (especially the limbic system), one doesn't often speak of regulating the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus of normal healthy individuals is constantly working to maintain homeostasis, requiring the constant regulation of many organs and organ systems. It does this by secreting hormones and releasing neurotransmitters, small chemicals that transmit messages between nerve cells. Normal healthy individuals do not require supplementation in order to achieve a healthy, functioning hypothalamus.
How does the anterior and posterior pituitary differ?
the posterior pituitary is an extension to the hypothalamus, while the anterior stimulates general tissue growth and protein synthesis
What part of the brain for long term memory?
When we remember new facts by repeating them or by employing various Mnemonic Devices, we are actually passing them through the hippocampus several times. The hippocampus keeps strengthening the associations among these new elements until, after a while, it no longer needs to do so. The cortex will have learned to associate these various properties itself to reconstruct what we call a memory. But the hippocampus and the cortex are not the only structures involved in long-term memory and its various manifestations in the brain. http://thebrain.mcgill.ca/flash/d/d_07/d_07_cr/d_07_cr_tra/d_07_cr_tra.html
What connects the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland?
the infundibulum connects the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland, its like a stem. for the posterior lobe (neurohypophysis) is linked by neurons while the anterior lobe is linked by a complex network of blood capillaries it's the spinal column
What is the relationship of hypothalamus and pituitary gland?
In basic terms, the hypothalamus is the control centre monitering various inputs. The pituitary gland is responsible for excreting various hormones in response to different changes in homeostatis that are monitered by the hypothalamus
Does alcohol alter ADH and Aldosterone?
Alcohol (ethanol) acts on the hypothalamus to inhibit ADH secretion. This leads to diuresis and the typical repeated trips to the bathroom while at the bar drinking.
Do whales live in the gulf of Mexico?
Short answer YES. There are 2 different kinds that I have caught in and around Padre Island, TX while seaching in the sea grasses. There are Dwarf Seahorses (Hippocampus zosterae) and a common Atlantic\Caribbean Seahorse (Hippocampus erectus). -SoLiD from www.maast.org
