Solution


Q.

Injury localized to the hypothalamus would most likely disrupt             [2014]
1 short-term memory  
2 co-ordination during locomotion  
3 executive functions, such as decision making  
4 regulation of body temperature  

Ans.

(4)

Hypothalamus lies at the base of the thalamus. It provides anatomical connection between the nervous and endocrine systems by its relationship to the pituitary gland. Hypothalamus is thermoregulatory centre. Hence, it is called “thermostat” of the body. It keeps body temperature at roughly 37°C by means of a complex thermostat system. Any localised injury to hypothalamus will, hence, disrupt regulation of body temperature.
