The hypothalamotegmental tract is a pathway from the hypothalamus to the reticular formation.[1] Axons from the posterior hypothalamus descend through the midbrain and pontine reticular formation. They connect with reticular neurons important in visceral and autonomic activity.[2] The tract is a continuation of the medial forebrain bundle in the lateral portion of the tegmentum. It can only be seen with special staining.
