the four F's

four functions regulated by the hypothalamus:

-fleeing

-mating

"The hypothalamus plays a major role in the regulation of basic drives related to survival, including the so-called "four F's":fighting, fleeing, feeding, and mating."
--Wayne Weiten's textbook Psychology: Themes and Variations
