Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The amygdala is the primary brain area regulating appetite with response to emotions.

Detailed explanation-2: -The temporal lobes are located in the cerebrum, and they help process audio and visual stimuli. Your temporal lobe has a direct line to the cerebellum by neural pathways, allowing your brain to process stimuli and react quickly – by jumping away from a loud sound, for example.

Detailed explanation-3: -The reticular activating system is found in the midbrain, pons, medulla and part of the thalamus. It controls levels of wakefulness, enables people to pay attention to their environments and is involved in sleep patterns.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hypothalamus is tiny, but it is extremely important because it is involved in many aspects of behavior and physiological functions. It is vital to the regulation of body temperature, the storage of nutrients, and various aspects of motivation and emotion.
