What is "hypothalamus"?
The hypothalamus is a small but vital region located at the base of the brain. It serves as a control center for various essential functions, including the regulation of body temperature, hunger and thirst, sleep cycles, hormone production, and the autonomic nervous system. The hypothalamus plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis and orchestrating the body's response to internal and external stimuli.
