    The hypothalamus is a highly complex structure in the brain that regulates many important brain chemicals. The hypothalamus is responsible for hormone production. The hormones produced by this area govern body temperature, thirst, hunger, sleep, circadian rhythm, moods, sex drive, and the release of other hormones in the body. This area of the brain controls the pituitary gland and other glands in the body.
