Hypothalamus Research Paper
The human brain is an intricate organ that has intrigued mankind for years, and will continue to do so until all of it’s mysteries are revealed. A lot of questions have been answered about the mysteries of the mind, but as questions are answered new ones become apparent. Our brain is responsible for everything our body is capable of, from breathing, motor function, feeling emotions, and even hormone production. When humans discovered this, they also discovered there are possible ways of interfering with the brains ability to perform it’s necessary tasks. One of the possibilities they discovered were types of tumors, or lesions, growing on the hypothalamus. With this discovery, they found that brain lesions resulted in a malfunction in hormone

Compared to modern technology, it acts like a wifi router to the rest of the brain. A wifi router reads information from the web and distributes the information it gathers to the desirable device through invisible radio waves. The hypothalamus is capable of reading your bodies information, and distributing the information through hormones to the other parts of the brain. If there is a lack of communication between parts of the brain, the person will soon discover “un-relatable” side effects. Meaning, the person will know something is wrong, but not know why. The body depends completely on hormones to retain its homeostasis, so a lot of health factors become threatened when there is an imbalance. With to much of the anti-diuretic hormone the body can experience water retention, diluted blood, and seizures. While on the other hand if there is too little of the hormone the body will experience dehydration and a drop in blood pressure. To much of the thyrotropin-releasing hormone and the body will undergo weight loss, weakness in muscles, extreme sweating, and excessive menstrual flow. The effects if there aren't enough of the hormone are fatigue, depression, weight gain, constipation, cold body temperature, constipation, and irregular menstrual cycle (Brainy Hormones). All of these symptoms, and many more, can be caused by a lesion on the
