Hypothalamic ascending connectivity. Summary of the four major pathways from the hypothalamus to the cerebral cortex schematized on a flattened representation of the rat brain. The basal ganglia here refer to the magnocellular basal forebrain and the amygdala complex. Note that one of the indirect connections first “descends” to the brainstem.
