An enlarged area of the infundibulum where it arises from the inferior border of the hypothalamus. This is a region in the brain where nerve terminals actually secrete their releasing and inhibitory hormones, which are then absorbed into the blood capillaries in the median eminence and carried in the venous blood down along the infundibulum, a funnel-like structure or passage, to the anterior pituitary gland.
