Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hypothalamus. The hypothalamus regulates functions like thirst, appetite, and sleep patterns. It also regulates the release of hormones from the pituitary gland.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your hypothalamus receives chemical messages from nerve cells in your brain and from nerve cells in your body (your peripheral nervous system), which is also responding to signals outside your body. Your hypothalamus’s main function is to react to these messages to keep your body in a stable state or internal balance.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hypothalamus is located on the undersurface of the brain. It lies just below the thalamus and above the pituitary gland, to which it is attached by a stalk. It is an extremely complex part of the brain containing many regions with highly specialised functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fullness is partly controlled by the hypothalamus, your blood sugar, and having food in your stomach and intestines.
