A hypothalamus stroke can affect various functions, including hormonal regulation and body temperature, but it typically does not directly impair vision. However, the hypothalamus is connected to other brain regions that are involved in visual processing, so indirect effects on vision could occur depending on the extent and location of the stroke. Vision issues would be more commonly associated with strokes in the occipital lobe, which is primarily responsible for processing visual information.

Does a stroke affect the nervous or endocrine system how stroke affects the endocrine system?
It affects the nervous system. It affects both those systems along with many others. It effects the endocrine system, because the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland, both secreting organs in the endocrine system, are located in the brain. If a stroke were to occur in those regions, the hypothalamus or the pituitary gland would not be able to secrete the hormones needed to keep homeostasis. The brain also controls the nervous system. So, a stroke does affect both.
