Injury localized to the hypothalamus would most likely disrupt:a. Regulation of body temperature. b. Short term memory. c. Executive functions such as decision making. d. Sorting of sensory information.

Option-A

The main regulatory function is the homeostatic functions which are involved in maintaining the internal condition of the body like temperature, osmolarity and others. Each function is controlled by the different nuclei present in the hypothalamus.
