Introduction: The hypothalamus is of a remarkable anatomo – functional wealth. It is divided into two large anterior and periventricular regions, and presents connections with the temporal region, the optic pathway, as well as privileged connections with the pituitary gland.
Discussion: This nucleus plays an essential role with memory, sleep generation, circadian cycles and, mainly in homeostasis of body weight. Conclusion: In this monographic work, we performed an anatomical and functional description of this structure, with a final emphasis on the description of its use for the treatment of morbid refractory obesity.
