Abstract

Objective: The hypothalamus, which is the main control center of the autonomic nervous system has been the subject of many studies around the world with increasing interest. The aim of this study was to make a comprehensive and holistic analysis of the publications on the hypothalamus between 1980 and 2020 with bibliometric approaches.

Methods: The Web of Science database was used to identify publications on the hypothalamus between 1980 and 2020. The identified publications were then analyzed using bibliometric approaches.

Results: As a result of the literature review, a total of 35919 publications were found. The three most active countries in the production of articles on the subject of the hypothalamus were the USA (n=9685), Japan (2636), and the UK (2065). A statistically significant positive correlation was found between the number of articles produced by countries on the hypothalamus and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and GDP per capita development indicators (r=0.785, p<0.001; r=0.511, p<0.001, respectively).

Conclusion: Recent studies on the hypothalamus have focused on the functional connection of the hypothalamus with obesity, stress, and food intake. The findings of this study can be considered to be a comprehensive and useful guide for researchers interested in the topic of the hypothalamus.
