Hypothalamus compared to medulla oblongata

Are there functions that overlap between the hypothalamus and the medilla oblongata? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.99.35.174 (talk) 15:59, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

aging control

Brain Region Found to Control Aging

Cai and his team have found that an immune system pathway in the hypothalamus also has a role in controlling aging. Usually, the immune system is involved in fending off infection or damage, but studies have also linked inflammatory changes with age-related conditions

/* Nuclei */ there is a vandalism. the word "anterior" turns into "previous". i am trying to undo it.

After three seconds, the word "anterior" on the table is being turned into previous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.247.226.195 (talk) 15:29, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Hypothalamic disease

Not enough content to justify a split; content will largely be duplicated in the 'clinical significance' section, so I propose a merge. Tom (LT) (talk) 22:44, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge. I agree fully, no need for a separate page. --Tryptofish (talk) 17:43, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, as an individual who has lived with a surgically damaged hypothalamus for 42 years, I'd prefer to keep the disease andneurological symdrome aspect seperate. When I research the hypothalamus I need to understand how the organ functions normally. I already know what happens when things DON'T work..I need a solid understanding of the hypothalamus in its normal state! Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.254.153.138 (talk) 16:07, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

*Oppose merge agree with previous user it deserves its own page as a disease. Also think that the hypothalamus page is long enough really. --Iztwoz (talk) 09:06, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge. for reasons given. There's no reason that the addition in Clinical significance should detract from the rest of the page. --Iztwoz (talk) 21:13, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ref misformat

Apparently, a table is from "Guyton Twelfth Edition" but the citation does not seem to be an entire book title or a website address. It should be reformatted User:Pokeswap

Sexual orientation

The section "Sexual orientation" previously stated: "Sex hormones that work on the developing fetal brain determine sexual orientation." With the reference: Lenz KM, McCarthy MM (December 2010). "Organized for sex - steroid hormones and the developing hypothalamus". The European Journal of Neuroscience. 32 (12): 2096–104. doi:10.1111/j.1460-9568.2010.07511.x. PMC 5350613. PMID 21143664.

However, that rather bold claim cannot be found in the reference, nor can anything really even close to that be found in the given reference. Also the terminology "hormones that work on" doesn't sound very scientific. I edited to change the sentence to "Sex hormones that affect the developing fetal brain may have a role in determining sexual orientation." However, that's still not really what the reference was exactly saying, but it's at least a little bit closer. For example, the terms "sexual orientation", "sexual preference", "homosexuality", "heterosexuality", and even just the word "orientation" do not appear at all in the article. There is mention of "partner preference", but it does not appear to be specifically talking about that in the context of which gender of partner is preferred.

The section "sexual orientation" in this article really needs some work. There is definitely relevant research that has been done regarding the hypothalamus and sexual orientation, but nothing so conclusive as was suggested by the sentence before I changed it. If anyone is able to willing to add to the section, and especially to add more pertinent references that can be accurately summarized without bias, that would be good.

Editing to add: Looking back at previous versions of the article, I see that the section "sexual orientation" used to be much longer and had several different references. I'm not sure why it was changed to just one sentence and just one reference. Perhaps it should be reverted back to how it was before? Vontheri (talk) 10:51, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
