The hypothalamus, which is located on the ventral side of the brain, is composed of several areas, called nuclei. Each hypothalamic nucleus implements a distinct role in several physiological traits. Growing evidence suggest molecules/signaling pathways including sirtuin, mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), specific areas of the hypothalamus (the dorsomedial/lateral hypothalamus, mediobasal hypothalamus, and arcuate nucleus), neural stem cells, and temperature-sensitive neurons within the hypothalamus play a role in the regulation of mammalian longevity. These previously identified molecules/pathways and cell types in the hypothalamus have some common function in physiological traits. Therefore, further elucidation of common mechanisms by which the hypothalamus controls one or more physiological traits during aging through multiple aging/longevity regulators will help us to uncover novel integrative mechanisms underlying aging, longevity, and age-associated pathophysiology.
