Aside from the feeding and mating; I always learned it was fight, flight, or freeze (fawn).

As it pertains to the function of the hypothalamus, what is the difference between fighting and fending?

Couldn’t even say fornication?

I think “mating” is more effective. A minor double-take means you’re more likely to remember it. Besides, textbook writers should be allowed to fit in jokes where they can; their work seems dry as hell.

I love it when I stumble across incredibly human moments like this in textbooks in the wild. It really brightens my day because it reminds me that a person (or more usually, people) wrote this hefty tome.
