The hypothalamus controls most of the [[Endocrine System Overview - Anatomy & Physiology|endocrine glands]] within the body, largely through stimulation of the [[Pituitary Gland - Anatomy & Physiology|Pituitary Gland]] by secretion of [[Hormones - Anatomy & Physiology#Classifications of Hormones|neurohormones]]. It is a vital regulator of homeostasis, including [[Thermoregulation - Anatomy & Physiology| Thermoregulation]]. Further information on the physiology of the hypothalamus can be found [[[Hypothalamus - Anatomy & Physiology|here]].
