<P> The core temperature of a human is regulated and stabilized primarily by the hypothalamus , a region of the brain linking the endocrine system to the nervous system , and more specifically by the anterior hypothalamic nucleus and the adjacent preoptic area regions of the hypothalamus . As core temperature varies from the set point , endocrine production initiates control mechanisms to increase or decrease energy production / dissipation as needed to return the temperature toward the set point ( see figure ) . </P>
