 The DMH is also a part of the pathway corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) takes when it is secreted by the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, and it is involved in the flow from the sympathetic nervous system to the adrenal gland.It was found in the study done by Gooley et al.that lesions in DMH neurons in rats prevented food entrainment of wakefulness, locomotor activity, and core body temperature.
