AB THE  SURVIVAL  OF  AN  INDIVIDUAL  requires  tight  control  of  body  temperature,  water  balance,  and  blood  pressure,  together  with  sufficient  food  intake  and  appropriate  regulation  of  sleep/wakefulness  cycles.  Survival  of  a  species  requires  that  individuals  be  fertile,  mate,  and  nurture  their  offspring,  and  that  aggression  toward  others  be  appropriate  and  adaptive.  Neurons  in  the  hypothalamus  control  all  of  these  key  survival  activities.
