Eat, drink, be merry, and reproduce. ~The hypothalamus
Well today was brutal. We had a 2½ hour, 100 question exam on behavioral science and then an hour lecture on the hypothalamus in neuroscience. I'm not sure if anyone made it more than 15 minutes into the neuro lecture without their brains turning to jelly.
But all was forgiven when we stowed the notes and ventured into the intrepidly shining spring sun to play some kickball and touch football. A little running around goes a long way towards exorcising the multiple-choice demons.
TIL: In the hypothalamus of the brain, the tuber cinereum becomes the median eminence which becomes the infundibulum. That's three named regions for a stalk less than a centimeter in size. Yay neuroanatomy!
