Verified step by step guidance

Begin by identifying the location of each gland mentioned in the options. The thyroid and parathyroid glands are located in the neck region.

Next, consider the adrenal glands, which are located on top of the kidneys, and the pineal gland, which is located in the brain.

The hypothalamus and pituitary gland are both located in the brain. The hypothalamus is a region of the brain that controls many bodily functions, and the pituitary gland is often referred to as the 'master gland' because it regulates other endocrine glands.

The pancreas is located in the abdomen and is involved in digestion and blood sugar regulation, while the thymus is located in the chest and is involved in immune function.

Conclude by confirming that the hypothalamus and pituitary gland are indeed the glands found in the brain, as they are both integral parts of the endocrine system within the brain.
