The tuberomammillary nucleus (TMN) is a histaminergic nucleus located within the posterior third of the hypothalamus.[1] It is part of the tuber cinereum.[2] It largely consists of histaminergic neurons (i.e. histamine-releasing neurons). It is involved with the control of arousal, learning, memory, sleep and energy balance.[1]
