Morphological Changes in the Some Centers of Hypothalamus During Food Deprivation

In this study, morphological changes in various sites of hypothalamus have been investigated in the state of hunger. The morphological changes occurred during different phases of the state of hunger have been observed in various regions of lateral hypothalamus. Our study has also shown that lateral hypothalamus functions as the hunger mechanism and therefore undergo intense morphological alterations. Essentially lateral hypothalamus was found to control the mechanism, operating at stages of hunger.
