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.
