The hypothalamus has a close anatomical and physiological relationship with the pituitary gland. Anatomically, the hypothalamus is connected to the pituitary gland by the infundibulum.

The posterior pituitary gland stores and releases hormones (oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone) that are produced by the hypothalamus.
