Acronym:
The term ventral region of the lateral hypothalamus refers to one of twenty six regions, zones, and nuclei that constitute the motor lateral hypothalamus. It is located laterally and ventrally in the lateral hypothalamic area at the level of the intermediate hypothalamic region of the rat. It differs from the dorsal region of the lateral hypothalamic area in that its cells are much more densely packed. It is composed of two parts: the medial zone of the ventral lateral hypothalamus and the lateral zone of the ventral lateral hypothalamus. Functionally it belongs to the subcortical motor system ( Swanson-2004 ).
