MeSH	Dorsomedial+hypothalamic+nucleus

The Dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus is a nucleus of the hypothalamus. It is involved in feeding, drinking, and body weight regulation.

Surface	Pineal body · Habenula · Habenular trigone · Habenular commissure

Grey matter	Pretectal area · Habenular nuclei · Subcommissural organ

Surface	Stria medullaris of thalamus · Thalamic reticular nucleus · Taenia thalami

Grey matter/ nuclei	paired: AN · Ventral (VA/VL, VP/VPM/VPL) · Lateral (LD, LP, Pulvinar nuclei) · Metathalamus (MG, LG) midline: MD · Intralaminar (Centromedian) · Midline nuclear group · Interthalamic adhesion

White matter	Mammillothalamic fasciculus · Pallidothalamic tracts (Ansa lenticularis, Lenticular fasciculus, Thalamic fasciculus) · PCML (Medial lemniscus, Trigeminal lemniscus) · Spinothalamic tract · Lateral lemniscus · Dentatothalamic tract · Acoustic radiation · Optic radiation · Subthalamic fasciculus · Anterior trigeminothalamic tract Medullary laminae

Surface

Autonomic zones	Anterior (parasympathetic/heat loss) · Posterior (sympathetic/heat conservation)

Endocrine	posterior pituitary: Paraventricular (magnocellular, parvocellular)/Supraoptic (oxytocin/vasopressin) other: Arcuate (dopamine/GHRH) · Preoptic (GnRH) · Suprachiasmatic (melatonin)

Emotion	Lateral · Ventromedial · Dorsomedial

Posterior is diencephalon, but anterior is glandular
