Abstract
The hypothalamus is a small but influential subdivision of the diencephalon essential for adaptive changes in physiology, maintenance of homeostasis, and reproduction of species. These functions are achieved through regulatory influences over central pattern generators, central preautonomic networks, and neuroendocrine control over pituitary secretion. This article reviews the functional architecture of the hypothalamus that permits the hypothalamus to integrate sensory input in support of coordinated adaptive changes in physiology and behavior.
