Nitrogen and oxygen in their gaseous stage are considered as insulator as they are not able to pass electricity through them. Electricity can be conducted through a medium when electrons move.
Hence, when both nitrogen and oxygen are in plasma state they conduct electricity. A plasma state of a gas is the state in which it exists in ionized state where electrons are able to move freely.
The hypothalamus is a portion of the brain particularly concerned with homeostasis; it influences the action of the medulla oblongata, a lower part of the brain, the autonomic nervous system, and the pituitary gland.
