If there's anything that is high yield about the hypothalamus then it's definitely the nuclei what hormones, factors, or functions they have.

There some mnemonics that help us remember these;

• If you lesion the ventromedial nucleus you'll will grow ventromedially (obesity).
• Anterior zone is the A/C, as it cools the body
• Posterior zone causes poikilothermy if lesioned.
• Suprchiasmactic nucleus it related to the optic pathways (the chiasm) and circadian rhythms.
• Supraoptic nucleus secretes the ADH and oxytocin that flows from the "supra" superiorly located hypothalamus down to the posterior pituitary.

Here's a table of the full list

Lateral nuclei

LAteral

Leptin = Lesion = Lose the desire to eat = Anorexia

supraoptic + Vasopressin = #V = 1
paraVentricular + Oxytocin = #V = 1
