PY - 2021 T2 - Principles of Neural Science, 6e AB - THE SURVIVAL OF AN INDIVIDUAL requires tight control of body temperature, water balance, and blood pressure, together with sufficient food intake and appropriate regulation of sleep/wakefulness cycles. Survival of a species requires that individuals be fertile, mate, and nurture their offspring, and that aggression toward others be appropriate and adaptive. Neurons in the hypothalamus control all of these key survival activities. SN - PB - McGraw Hill CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - neurology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1180644561 ER -
