An impairment of eating, drinking, temperature regulation, or sexual behavior suggests possible damage to which brain structure?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hypothalamus plays a critical role in regulating various physiological functions, including hunger, thirst, body temperature, and sexual behavior. Damage to this brain structure can lead to impairments in these functions. The midbrain is primarily involved in sensory and motor processing, the hippocampus is involved in memory formation, and the cerebellum is primarily involved in movement coordination and balance, so impairments in these functions would not suggest damage to the hypothalamus.
