Ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus the brain. VMH is also important in mammal play behaviour. Lesions to VMH along with the hippocampus, amygdala, the cerebellum, and the lateral hypothalamus are all linked to reduced play The VMHdm has a role in the male vocalizations and scent marking behaviors. The VMHvl plays a role in sexual behaviors in females (lordosis), thus stimulating their sexual arousal. Bilateral FOS expression in the VMH after repeated seizures is associated with alteration in the severity of flurothyl induced seizures in C57BL/6J mice that are not present in DBA/2J mice. Moreover, bilateral lesions of the VMH are able to block the
Anatomy of the cerebellum tree-like appearance—are four deep cerebellar nuclei. The cerebellum can be divided according to three different criteria: gross anatomical, phylogenetical, and functional. On gross inspection, three lobes can be distinguished in the cerebellum: the flocculonodular lobe, the anterior lobe (rostral to the "primary fissure"), and the posterior lobe (dorsal to the "primary fissure"). The latter two can be further divided in a midline cerebellar vermis and lateral cerebellar hemispheres. The cerebellum can also be divided in three parts based on both phylogenetic criteria (the evolutionary age of each part) and on functional criteria (the incoming and outgoing connections each part has
