What are three things the hypothalamus does?
(1) controlsthe release of 8 major hormones by the hypophysis, and is involved in (2) temperature regulation, (3)control of food and water intake, (4) sexual behavior and reproduction, (5) control of daily cycles in physiological state and behavior, and (6) mediation of emotional responses.
