Detailed explanation-1: -Hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is located above the pituitary gland and sends it chemical messages that control its function. It regulates body temperature, synchronizes sleep patterns, controls hunger and thirst and also plays a role in some aspects of memory and emotion.
Detailed explanation-2: -The hypothalamus acts as the control center for hunger and satiety. Part of the hypothalamus, the arcuate nucleus (or, in humans, the infundibular nucleus), allows entry through the blood-brain barrier of peripheral peptides and proteins that directly interact with its neurons.
Detailed explanation-3: -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).
