<P> The hypothalamus is responsible for the regulation of certain metabolic processes and other activities of the autonomic nervous system . It synthesizes and secretes certain neurohormones , called releasing hormones or hypothalamic hormones , and these in turn stimulate or inhibit the secretion of pituitary hormones . The hypothalamus controls body temperature , hunger , important aspects of parenting and attachment behaviours , thirst , fatigue , sleep , and circadian rhythms . </P>
