TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 27. The Hypothalamus and Neuroendocrine Disorders A1 - Ropper, Allan H. A1 - Samuels, Martin A. A1 - Klein, Joshua P. PY - 2014 T2 - Adams and Victor's Principles of Neurology, 10e AB - The hypothalamus plays three roles in the actions of the nervous system. The first, as the "head ganglion" of the autonomic nervous system, was described in the preceding chapter; the second, as the circadian and seasonal clock for behavioral and sleep–wake functions, was considered in Chap. 19 on sleep; and the third, as the neural center of the endocrine system, is the subject of this chapter. In the hypothalamus, these systems are integrated with one another as well as with neocortical, limbic, and spinal influences. Together, they maintain homeostasis and participate in the substructure of emotion and affective behavior.
