The influence of hypothalamus in vertebrate reproduction

Introduction:

The hypothalamus  is a small area of the brain. It is located near the pituitary gland, at the base of the brain.

The hypothalamus is also called the master switchboard  or master gland  because it is the part of the brain that controls the activity of endocrine glands.

However, it is very small in size but it plays an essential role in various important functions. It not only regulates the release of hormones but also regulates body temperature.
