The anterior hypothalamic nucleus is a nucleus of the hypothalamus.
Its function is thermoregulation (cooling) of the body. Damage or destruction of this nucleus causes hyperthermia.
The anterior hypothalamus plays a role in regulating sleep.[1]
The anterior hypothalamic region is sometimes grouped with the preoptic area.[2]
