Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hypothalamus is known to regulate the release of hormones from the pituitary gland through a complex feedback mechanism. It can directly stimulate or inhibit the production and secretion of hormones such as growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and corticotropin-releasing hormone depending on the body's needs. The thalamus, medulla, and midbrain are not directly involved in this process.
