Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hypothalamic function falls into two major areas: (1) maintenance of a constant internal environment and (2) implementation of behavioral patterns. The epithalamus forms the roof of the third ventricle and composes the most superior portion of the diencephalon, which controls vital functions and visceral activities. The subthalamus flanks the hypothalamus laterally and serves as an important basal ganglia center for motor activities.
