SUMMARYThe results of lesion, stimulation, deafferentation, implantatión and transplantation studies employed in the identification of hypophysiotrophic control areas in the hypothalamus to date suggest the following probable locations: corticotropic releasing factor (CRF) is formed in a diffuse area along the base of the median eminence, if not the base of the entire hypothalamus. Follicle stimulating hormone releasing factor (FSHRF) is elaborated in the paraventricular-suprachiasmatic areas but its cyclic control may reside in the anterior hypothalamic area. Luteinizing hormone (LH) is controlled by luteinizing hormone releasing factor (LHRF) formed in the suprachiasmatic area: its cyclic control may be in the preoptic area. Prolactin is controlled by prolactin inhibiting factor (PIF) localized in a diffuse area comprising the ventromedial, dorsomedial, arcuate and paraventricular nuclei. The hypothalamic area involved in thyroid control is also rather large, since thyrotropin stimulating hormone releasing factor (TSHRF) has been found in an area including the supraoptic and chiasmatic nuclei. Growth hormone releasing factor (GHRF) is elaborated in a rather narrow zone, the ventromedial hypothalamic nuclei.
