@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaLAC -> BrainRegionLAC_FD_HT_VLPO
This page covers biological details of component Ventrolateral Preoptic Nucleus. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.
- Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Hypothalamus (FD.HT) -> Anterior Hypothalamus Area (LAC.FD.HT.AHT) -> Chiasmatic Area (LAC.FD.HT.CHS) -> Preoptic Nucleus (LAC.FD.HT.PO) -> Ventrolateral Preoptic Nucleus (LAC.FD.HT.VLPO) (see Mind Maps)
- Type: nucleus
- Quality: L0
- Brain area: Lower Brain - Autonomous Control Area (LAC)
- Area circuit: Autonomic Thermoregulation (LAT)
- Role: processor.autonomic
- Function: mediates non-REM sleep onset
- Notes to function:
- lesions in VLPO result in insomnia
