Hypothalamus
(Science: anatomy, endocrinology) a portion of the brain which lies beneath the thalamus and secretes substances which control metabolism by exerting an influence on pituitary gland function.
Hormones of the Hypothalamus
The hypothalamus is a region of the brain. It contains several types of neurons responsible for secreting different hormones.
hypothalamus A region in the brain beneath the thalamus; consists of many aggregations of nerve cells and controls a variety of autonomic functions aimed at maintaining homeostasis. PICTURE ...

Hypothalamus cells that receive signals from other nerve cells, but instead of signaling to an adjacent nerve cell or muscle, they release hormones into the bloodstream.

The Hypothalamus (Fig. 720) includes the subthalamic tegmental region and the structures forming the greater part of the floor of the third ventricle, viz.
As an example, the hypothalamus receives information, both electrical and chemical.

It has a posterior lobe called the hypothalamus which contains some interesting neurosecretory cells.
For example, experiments using radioactive labeling show that calcitonin produced by the hypothalamus is different from that produced by the thyroid. In each case, the same gene produces the protein.
There definitely are some scientists who have been working on describing different regions in the hypothalamus or in the brain that might be different for homosexuals versus heterosexuals. But we have a long way to go on that.
The most anterior brain region of developing embryos which later divides into the telencephalon (most anterior brain region) and diencephalon. These regions later differentiate into the cerebral hemispheres, thalamus and hypothalamus and optic ...
