The paraventricular nucleus (PVN, PVA, or PVH) is a nucleus in the hypothalamus. Anatomically, it is adjacent to the third ventricle and many of its neurons project to the posterior pituitary . These projecting neurons secrete oxytocin and a smaller amount of vasopressin , otherwise the nucleus also secretes corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH ...
Mar 16, 2022 · The paraventricular nucleus (PVN) is a highly organized structure of the hypothalamus that has a key role in regulating cardiovascular and osmotic homeostasis. Functionally, the PVN is divided into autonomic and neuroendocrine (neurosecretory) compartments, both equally important for maintaining blood pressure (BP) and body fluids in the ...

Introduction. The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) has over the past 20 years slowly emerged as one of the most important hypothalamic autonomic control centers, with neurons in this bilateral structure playing essential roles in neuroendocrine/autonomic regulation [ 1 - 5 ].

The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) is an important site for the integration and dictating a concerted response in terms of a variety of neural and humoral signals regulating sympathetic drive and normal fluid volume status [ 1, 2 ].
Mar 26, 2020 · Within the brain, the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) is a primary hypothalamic node that integrates neural and humoral information regarding energy balance and sends output...
