Connected by many nerve tracts with the brain and spinal cord, the hypothalamus acts as a link between the endocrine system and the nervous system. It functions automatically, monitoring and regulating the autonomic nervous system as well as the state of the body's metabolism through eating, drinking, temperature control, sexual drives and "fight or flight" reactions. It also controls the menstrual cycle and is thought to contain a pleasure center. Finally, it directs hormones released by the anterior pituitary gland. The anatomy of the hypothalamus includes:

The brain stem , which is only two and a half inches long, is seen here cut from top to bottom and laid open, in a similar way to which a book is opened. The central dark area is the reticular formation. The left side shows the motor nuclei of the cranial nerves and the right side illustrates their sensory nuclei.

Brain waves recorded from the scalp prove that human beings never "switch off" their minds. Here three levels of arousal--sleeping, relaxing and action--all have a characteristic brain wave pattern. The machine used to monitor and record this activity is an electroencephalograph or EEG. In deep sleep, the EEG pattern produces large, slow waves. When relaxing the waves become faster. In an active situation the EEG is very dense and is described as having a low voltage and a high frequency, which produce a fast wave.
