A client has had a stroke and computed tomography reveals infarcts in multiple brain regions. An infarct in which region is most likely to affect the function of the client's autonomic nervous system?
Hypothalamus
Explanation:
The hypothalamus plays a major role in the coordination of autonomic nervous system function. The parietal cortex primarily regulates touch and sensation. The amygdala contributes to memory and decision making. The ventricular system contributes to the production and distribution of cerebrospinal fluid.
