Answers

The hypothalamus is a section of the brain responsible for hormone production. The hormones produced by this area of the brain govern body temperature, thirst, hunger, sleep, circadian rhythm, moods, sex drive, and the release of other hormones in the body. Can measure it using hormone tests. If it is damaged Hunger, Thirst, Body temperature, Blood pressure, Sleep / wakefulness, Salivation (drooling or slobbering), Digestion, Body Weight (eating disorders) can all be affected. Other structures that help do the same thing is the pituitary gland.

Answer from: tbggheemoney

Hypothalamus can be efficiently visualized by MRI, novel image processing and multispectral image acquisition.

Further Explanation:

The thalamus is present in the brain. It is present above the brain stem in between the midbrain and cerebral cortex. The major functions of the thalamus are:

To translate nerve impulse from receptor to cerebral cortex. To translate the sensory signal. To help in the visual, somatosensory, gustatory and auditory system. To act in motor activities. To regulate arousal, consciousness, and sleep.

Thalamus is divided into the subnuclei with the different cortical connections. The medial dorsal nucleus makes the connection between prefrontal cortex and thalamus. The measurement or visualization of the thalamus is very necessary to check the proper functioning of the thalamus. MRI can help in visualizing the thalamus. Also, there are two methods which efficiently help in measuring and visualizing the thalamus, named as:

Multispectral image acquisition Novel image processing
