Answer:

It is a connection point between the nervous and endocrine systems.

Explanation:

Hypothalamus is the part of the diencephalon. As a part of the endocrine system, it releases releasing and inhibiting hormones to regulate the release of hormones from the anterior pituitary gland. Example:  thyrotropin-releasing hormone from hypothalamus makes the anterior pituitary to release thyrotropin hormone.

However, to maintain homeostasis, the hypothalamus also regulates the hormone secretion from the pituitary gland through nervous control. Therefore, hypothalamus serves as a link between the nervous and endocrine system.
