| DMN | dimethylnitrosamine; dorsal motor nucleus; dysplastic melanocytic nevus |

| hypothalamic | Of or involving the hypothalamus. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| hypothalamic amenorrhoea | Secondary amenorrhoea arising from defective hypothalamic stimulation of the anterior lobe of the hypophysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypothalamic area, anterior | Loose heterogeneous collection of cells in the anterior hypothalamus, continuous rostrally with the medial and lateral preoptic areas and caudally with the tuber cinereum. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypothalamic area, lateral | An area in the middle hypothalamus continuous rostrally with the lateral preoptic area and caudally with the tegmentum mesencephali. It contains the tuberomammillary and lateral tuberal nuclei. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypothalamic histiocytoma | <radiology> Parasellar tumour, may not be able to differentiate from: suprasellar (optic nerve/chiasm) glioma, teratoma, kids with tumour usually have, diabetes insipidus, skeletal lesions of histiocytosis (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypothalamic hormones | Hormones isolated from the hypothalamus which exercise control over other organs, primarily the pituitary gland. Well-known members include certain pituitary hormone-releasing hormones and pituitary hormone release inhibiting hormones. Vasopressin and oxytocin which are found in the posterior pituitary may also be secreted by the hypothalamus but are not grouped here (pituitary hormones, posterior). (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypothalamic infundibulum | The apical portion of the tuber cinereum extending into the stalk of the hypophysis. Synonym: infundibulum hypothalami. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypothalamic neoplasms | Neoplasms located in the hypothalamus including the anterior, medial, and posterior portions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypothalamic obesity with hypogonadism | A disorder characterised primarily by obesity and hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism in adolescent boys; dwarfism is rare, and when present is thought to reflect hypothyroidism. Visual loss, behavioural abnormalities, and diabetes insipidus may occur. Frohlich's syndrome often is used synonymously for this disorder, although the original case involved a pituitary tumour; most cases are thought to result from hypothalamic dysfunction in areas regulating appetite and gonadal development. The most common causes are pituitary and hypothalamic neoplasms. Synonym: adiposis orchica, adiposogenital degeneration, adiposogenital dystrophy, adiposogenital syndrome, hypophysial syndrome, hypothalamic obesity with hypogonadism. Origin: L. Fr. G. Dys-, bad, + trophe, nourishment (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypothalamic sulcus | A groove in the lateral wall of the third ventricle on either side leading from the interventricular foramen to the aditus ad aqueductum cerebri; the sulcus-demarcated boundary between dorsal thalamus and hypothalamus. Synonym: sulcus hypothalamicus, Monro's sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermediate hypothalamic region | The infundibular portion of the hypothalamus, includes the medial tuberal nuclei and portions of the dorsomedial, ventromedial, arcuate (infundibular), posterior and lateral hypothalamic nuclei; located internally in the general area of the infundibulum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral hypothalamic area | Extends throughout most of the rostrocaudal extent of the hypothalamus lateral to the column of the fornix; includes lateral tuberal nuclei, tuberomamillary nuclei, and diffuse populations of cells. Synonym: lateral hypothalamic area. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral hypothalamic region | Extends throughout most of the rostrocaudal extent of the hypothalamus lateral to the column of the fornix; includes lateral tuberal nuclei, tuberomamillary nuclei, and diffuse populations of cells. Synonym: lateral hypothalamic area. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglion cells of dorsal spinal root | Pseudounipolar nerve cell bodies in the ganglia of the dorsal spinal nerve roots; the sensory spinal nerves are composed of the peripheral axon branches of these sensory ganglion cell's, whereas the central axon branch of each such cell enters the spinal cord as a component of the dorsal root. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial dorsal cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The medial terminal branch of the superficial peroneal nerve, supplying the dorsum of the foot and dorsal nerves to the toes (except adjacent sides of great and second toes). Synonym: nervus cutaneus dorsalis medialis, dorsal medial cutaneous nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
