Hypothalamus

The Hypothalamus is the size of a pearl and is an emotional and hormonal center, as it is part of the Limbic System. It gets your adrenaline flowing during stress. It acts as a bridge between the nervous system and the endocrine system, which regulates our hormones. It also controls body temperature, hunger and thirst.

This video gives a brief explanation of the importance of the endocrine system.
