Question
Which one of the following statements regarding the hypothalamus is INCORRECT? A. Magnocellular neurons in the pre-optic and paraventricular nuclei project to the neurohypophysis B. The first capillary bed of the hypothalamic portal vein system is found in the median eminence C. Parvocellular neurons interacting with the adenohypophysis can be found in the periventricular zone D. The suprachiasmatic nucleus is the light-entrained circadian clock of the brain E. The hypothalamus is situated inferior (i.e., below) the hypothalamic sulcus
Solution
The incorrect statement is E. "The hypothalamus is situated inferior (i.e., below) the hypothalamic sulcus". The hypothalamus is actually located superior (above) to the hypothalamic sulcus, not inferior.
