See below: Not sure which is which but true hunger emanates from the hypothalamus after it assesses our metabolic needs and the presence of food in the gut. It sends a signal to the dosal and ventral striate cortices via increased orexin and decreased cart/pomc activity to generate conscious hunger signals. False hunger occurs when these signals occur in error.. (see my website for detailed info).
