What will happen When the ventromedial hypothalamus is destroyed or lesioned?
overeat to the point of obesity
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.
What are the four parts of the hypothalamus?
optic part, which contains 2 nuclei = supraoptic + paraventricular nucleituberal part, has 3 nuclei = ventromedial + dorsomedial + tubral nucleimamillary part, has 2 nuclei = posterior + lateral nucleiposterior perforated substance
What part of the brain controls feeling taste and hunger?
it is the brain stem
What is the most important area of the brain for temperature regulation?
Hypothalamus
What are the physiological components involved in hunger?
Ventromedial hypothalamus and the lateral hypothalamus.
Hunger is depressed by activation of the?
Ventromedial hypothalamus

Can weight loss occur due to changes in the hypothalamus?
in short, yes, your lateral hypothalamus controlls your feeling of hunger, which without feeling this drive you wouldn't be compelled to eat. if your ventromedial hypothalamus were to suffer damage it would have the opposite affect, you would never feel full. as far as i know this has only been tested on mice using lesions in the brain.

An animals stomach and intestines will process food more rapidly and the animal will become extremely fat if its?
Ventromedial Hypothalamus is removed
What part of the brain controls feeling taste and hunger?
it is the brain stem
A starving rat will lose interest in food if its What is destroyed?
lateral hypothalamus
The hypothalamus gland produces what hormone?
The hypothalamus produces oxytocin by the paraventricular neurons, and the anitdiuretic hormone (ADH) primarily by the supraoptic neurons.your ventromedial hypothalmus depresses hunger via serotonin and is turned on when your blood glucose level increases, while your lateral hypothalmus produces hunger via nonadrenaline and is turned on when your blood glucose level decreases.
Lateral hypothalamus may be involved in?
The lateral hypothalamus is known to be involved in regulating hunger and feeding behavior. It is also implicated in reward processing and motivation, as well as in the sleep-wake cycle and arousal. Damage to the lateral hypothalamus can lead to decreased food intake and ultimately weight loss.
What is the mass below the thalamus?
The hypothalamus is a small mass below the thalamus and forms floor and part of the lateral walls of the third ventricle.
