Injury of the Hypothalamus in Patients With Hypoxic–Ischemic Brain Injury: A Diffusion Tensor Imaging Study

ObjectivesThe survival rate for hypoxic–ischemic brain injury (HI-BI) is less than 20%. Several brain regions, including the caudate, hippocampus, and hypothalamus, are vulnerable to HI-BI. Hypothalamus is involved in regulation of temperature, sleep-wakefulness cycle, emotional behavior, and memory
