Answer: Every day, we make hundreds of choices.
Explanation: We choose what to wear, what to do when we get home from work or school, and how to respond when someone makes fun of us. Sometimes we also make big decision, such as what kind of school to go to, what career to pursue, whether to get married, and whether to have a child. Sometimes people make decisions that are even bigger than these because the decisions affect hundreds or millions of people - decisions about war and peace or about changes in the laws. Even if we ourselves don't make such big decisions, we need to understand how they are made. Most of the time, we make these choices without thinking. For small, routine choices such as how to respond when your friend starts a conversation with you, you do not need to think. You have learned how to talk and how to behave in a friendly way without thinking at all, and your habits serve you well. You could behave differently than you do, of course, but your behavior is probably fine as it is. In other cases, though, you THINK about your decisions, from what to wear in the morning to how to spend your money. Sometimes people make choices without thinking when they really ought to think a bit. For example, we sometimes say things that hurt people's feelings and then we feel bad for having said them. Can you think of other examples of things we do because we didn't think first? WHEN it is worth thinking about decisions and, mostly, HOW to think about them once you start thinking. It will teach by example. You will be given a problem about decision making. First, think about the problem and try to answer it. You can discuss the problem with someone else. Then turn the page and look at the answer carefully. Where do these answers come from, and why are they right? The answers come from a field of study called decision theory. It is taught in colleges and graduate schools. It is sometimes used as a way of making very important decisions such as whether to have surgery or where to locate an airport. People who study decision theory and write about agree about some things and disagree about others.
Answer:Anyway, these brain structures are considered to be primitive, I.e. They developed early in terms of evolution, and most animals - certainly mammals - have them.
You might be responsible for the function of each one, but in general they control things like hunger and thirst, emotion - including pleasure, sleep, some memory, and other complex autonomic systems such as diverting blood supply to GI tract after eating, helping regulate how much urine the kidneys produce vs. how much water they retain ( kidney function is very complicated and very fascinating).
Sorry I don't know the alignment of structure to function off the top of my head. The hypothalamus controls the release of hormones by the pituitary gland, like growth hormone, estrogen and testosterone, and even insulin, all by use of precursors.
You can bring in psychology with the emotions, survival drive, the drive to procreate - the complex and downright weird behaviors animals have developed to attract a mate, territoriality, etc. ooh, and paternal and maternal "instincts"!

Answer:
Holiday Diary: Monday We (arrived) in the middle of a thunderstorm at one in the morning. I (took) the tent out of the car and (tried) to pitch, only to then (realised) that we had forgotten the pegs. The kids’ faces (stared) at me through the car’s streaked windows as the dogs sit beside them. Three-quarters of an hour later I finally (managed) to wake the site’s shop owner, bought some spare pegs and got us all under canvas. The forecast, typically, is for rain all week. Good old summer!
Explanation:
- arrive - arrived.
- take - took.
- try - tried.
