THE HYPOTHALAMUS major regulator of homeostasis
groups neurons regulate several important physiological functions
Water/electrolyte balance -supraoptic/paraventricular nuclei*
Temperature regulation -anterior/posterior hypothalamic nuclei
Thirst/drinking -lateral hypothalamus*
Hunger/satiety/regulating feeding behaviour -arcuate/ventromedial nuclei /lateral hypothalamic area*
Regulation sexual behaviour -anterior/preoptic areas
Regulation circadian rhythms -suprachiasmatic nucleus
