Detailed explanation-1: -The LH is generally known as the hunger center, and two of its main functions are the stimulation of feeding behavior and arousal. Electrical stimulation of the LH results in ravenous eating behavior, and animals are extremely motivated to work for a food reward (Stuber and Wise, 2016).
Detailed explanation-2: -If the ventromedial hypothalamus is destroyed, a rat will refuse to eat until forced to do so.
Detailed explanation-3: -Within the hypothalamus are specific regions where hormones interact to produce sensations of appetite and satiety, leading to food consumption or a feeling of fullness. Through the interactions of ghrelin and leptin, the hypothalamus can regulate the sensation of hunger and satiety, leading to energy homeostasis.
Detailed explanation-4: -The lateral hypothalamus controls insulin secretion, alters taste responsiveness, and facilitates feeding in other ways. Damage to the lateral hypothalamus causes an animal to refuse food and water. The ventromedial hypothalamus (VHM) regulates eating. And stimulates overeating and weight gain.
