The hypothalamus is an area in the center of the brain, accounting for less than 1 per 100 of the total volume. It is located above the pituitary, with which it is connected by a rod, the pituitary stalk.
The hypothalamus provides a dual role to control hormonal secretions from the pituitary gland (considered the "conductor" of the other glands in the body.) And regulation of homeostasis (maintenance of biological parameters of the organization). He is also involved in sexual behavior and emotions. It is part of a system called the limbic system (involved in emotion).
