multiple choice
cerebral cortex

adenohypophysis

Explanation:

The hypothalamo - hypophyseal portal system is a vascular connection. The adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary) receives releasing and inhibiting hormones from the hypothalamus via this portal system. The cerebral cortex is part of the brain's outer layer, the thalamus is a sensory relay station, and the neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary) has a different connection (neural) to the hypothalamus.

Answer:

Adenohypophysis
