Question

The hypothalamus controls the ________.
A) hypnotic suggestibility ratio
B) sleep-wake cycle 
C) frequency of nightmares 
D) growth hormones that occur during sleep

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hypothalamus is known to control the sleep-wake cycle through the release of certain hormones and neurotransmitters. While it also plays a role in the regulation of growth hormones, it does not specifically control their occurrence during sleep. Similarly, while the hypothalamus may indirectly influence the occurrence of nightmares through its role in regulating sleep, it does not directly control their frequency. Finally, hypnotic suggestibility ratio is not typically considered to be under the control of the hypothalamus.
