Hypothalamic series
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
A hypothalamic series is a medical examination.
In 2370, Dr. Beverly Crusher ordered a hypothalamic series to be run to Deanna Troi, whose body temperaure had dropped several degress below normal. In reality, she was suffering from the initial stages of Barclay's Protomorphosis Syndrome. (TNG: "Genesis")
In an alternate timeline in 2373, Linnis Paris ran a hypothalamic scan on Kes to determine the reason for decreases in her body temperature. (VOY: "Before and After")
The term hypothalamic refers to the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that regulates certain metabolic operations of the body.
