cognitive process (learning‚ speaking‚ and problem solving skills). The Diencephalon is composed of two structures‚ the thalamus and the hypothalamus. The thalamus holds and sensory relay nuclei which are in charge of receiving signals from the sensory receptors‚ processing them and then transmitting them to the appropriate areas of sensory cortes. They hypothalamus holds the important job of regulating the release of hormones from the pituitary gland. It also works with the optic chiasm to control

Studies that investigate the role of the arcuate nucleus in the hypothalamus‚ in regulating appetite and metabolism‚ have targeted two chemically identified neuronal types within the ARC: anorexigenic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons and orexigenic neuropeptide Y (NPY)/agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons. The melanocortin
