This page covers biological details of component Tuberomammillary Nucleus. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Hypothalamus (HTA.FD.HT) -> Lateral Hypothalamic Area (HTA.FD.HT.LT) -> Lateral Tuberal Nuclei (HTA.FD.HT.LTUB) -> Tuberomammillary Nucleus (LAC.FD.HT.TBM) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Autonomous Control Area
• Role: relay
• Function: sole source of histamine in the brain
• Notes to function: regulate sleep, helps produce responses to sexual stimuli, and helps body respond to stressful situations
