Label	Id	Description
fenestra nasolateralis	UBERON_3000167	[Elongated opening located on the lateral side of the nasal capsule.]
fenestra lateralis nasi	UBERON_3000164	[Opening on the lateral side of the nasal capsule.]
fenestra endonarina communis	UBERON_3000162	[Opening on the anterolateral aspect of the nasal capsule. It contains the apertura nasalis externa.]
supraoptic nucleus	UBERON_0001929	[The supraoptic nucleus (SON) is a nucleus of magnocellular neurosecretory cells in the hypothalamus of the mammalian brain. The nucleus is situated at the base of the brain, adjacent to the optic chiasm. [WP,unvetted].]
anterior hypothalamic region	UBERON_0002550
fenestra dorsalis nasi	UBERON_3000160
fenestra endochoanalis	UBERON_3000161	[Opening on the ventral aspect of the nasal capsule. It contains the apertura nasalis interna.]
supramammillary nucleus	UBERON_0001940
mammillary body	UBERON_0002206	[One of two hemispherical bulges on the base of the posterior hypothalamus (Butler and Hodos, Comparative Vertebrate Neuroanatomy, 2nd ed., 2005, pg 455).]
lateral habenular nucleus	UBERON_0001941
habenular nucleus	UBERON_0008993	[Either of the two neural nuclei within the habenula.]
ventromedial nucleus of hypothalamus	UBERON_0001935	[The ventromedial nucleus (sometimes referred to as the ventromedial hypothalamus) is a nucleus of the hypothalamus. [WP,unvetted].]
tuberomammillary nucleus	UBERON_0001936	[The tuberomammillary nucleus is a subnucleus of the posterior third of the hypothalamus. It consists of, largely, histaminergic and is involved with the control of arousal, sleep and circadian rhythm. Axons of the tuberomammillary nucleus project primarily to the cerebral cortex, thalamus, basal ganglia, basal forebrain, and hypothalamus. The projections to the cerebral cortex directly increase cortical activation and arousal, and projections to acetylcholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain and dorsal pons do so indirectly, by increasing the release of acetylcholine in the cerebral cortex. [WP,unvetted].]
principal sulcus	UBERON_0025903	[Sulcus in the frontal lobe of the macaque. (Brain Info)]
lateral hypothalamic nucleus	UBERON_0001937	[The lateral hypothalamus or lateral hypothalamic area is a part of the hypothalamus. It is concerned with hunger. Damage to this area can cause reduced food intake. Stimulating the lateral hypothalamus causes a desire to eat, while stimulating the ventromedial hypothalamus causes a desire to stop eating.]
lateral mammillary nucleus	UBERON_0001938
lateral preoptic nucleus	UBERON_0001931	[The lateral preoptic nucleus is lateral to the medial preoptic nucleus. It also mediates non-REM sleep onset.[WP,unvetted].]
lateral zone of hypothalamus	UBERON_0002273
arcuate nucleus of hypothalamus	UBERON_0001932	[The arcuate nucleus (or infundibular nucleus) is an aggregation of neurons in the mediobasal hypothalamus, adjacent to the third ventricle and the median eminence. The arcuate nucleus includes several important populations of neurons, including: Neuroendocrine neurons, Centrally-projecting neurons and Others. [WP,unvetted].]
retrochiasmatic area	UBERON_0001933
