"The University of Rochester was granted a "method of treatment" patent in 2001 that covers the use of drugs that treat hot flashes by targeting a specific group of cells in the hypothalamus, the region of the brain that regulates body temperature. The proposed link between those cells and hot flashes was suggested by Thomas Guttuso, Jr., M.D., who had been conducting research in the University of Rochester's School of Medicine and Dentistry as part of a fellowship program in Neurology."
