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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Hypothalamus (HTA.FD.HT) -> Posterior Hypothalamic Area (HTA.FD.HT.POS) -> Posterior Hypothalamic Nucleus (LAC.FD.HT.PN) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Autonomous Control Area
• Role: relay
• Function: Blood pressure, pupillary dilation
