One region in this structure is the site of BMAL-1-CLOCK dimerization and is located above the optic chiasm. The lateral and posterior portions of this structure produce orexins, deficits of which can lead to narcolepsy. The hypophyseal portal system connects this structure to the HPA axis. Contained in the diencephalon, it releases GHRH and CRH, as well as gonadotropin-releasing hormone, somatostatin, oxytocin, and vasopressin. It connects the nervous and endocrine systems by linking to the pituitary gland, and controls hunger, thirst, and homeostasis. For 10 points, name this brain region located beneath the thalamus.
