Ventromedial, or ventromediaalne in Estonian, is a directional term in neuroanatomy used to describe regions located on the ventral (toward the underside) and medial (toward the midline) aspects of a brain structure. It is a descriptive label for multiple brain areas rather than a single, discrete structure, and its exact boundaries vary across species and anatomical references.
Two well-known ventromedial regions in humans are the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and the ventromedial nucleus
The VMH, located in the hypothalamus, is classically associated with energy balance and feeding behavior. Early
In anatomical usage, ventromedial denotes position rather than a single anatomical entity; several nuclei, cortical areas,
