Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hypothalamus controls the pituitary gland, which is often referred to as the "master gland" of the endocrine system because it controls the activity of many other glands throughout the body.

The hippocampus, amygdala, and thalamus are all important parts of the brain, but they do not have direct control over the endocrine system.
