rostral periventricular region of the third ventricle
rostral periventricular region of the third ventricle
"A functional anatomical construct containing the key estrogen-regulated inputs to gonadotropin-releasing hormone expressing (GnRH) neurons necessary for estrogen positive feedback. The rostral periventricular region of the third ventricle contains a population of neurons, scattered through the nuclei of the anteroventral periventricular (AVPV), periventricular preoptic (PVpo), and median preoptic (MEPO), that project directly to GnRH neurons and express ER-alpha."
