Cerebral Supremacy

Meaning

Cerebral Supremacy is a functional concept emphasizing the ultimate hierarchical control exerted by the central nervous system, particularly the hypothalamus, over the entire endocrine network and systemic homeostasis. It posits the brain as the primary orchestrator of physiological balance, with its output dictating the function of peripheral endocrine glands, metabolic rate, and adaptive stress responses. This supremacy is mediated through intricate neuroendocrine feedback loops that regulate hormone secretion.
