A member asked:
How does the hypothalamus control eating behaviour? (i'm a psychology/biology student looking at the role of dieting in regards to health. thank you)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The Hypothalamus: releases hormones and in that process regulates processes such as metabolism, hunger, body temp., sleep, and more. If there are lesions on this small almond-shaped organ it can cause starvation or obesity. Textbooks contain lists of hormones and what they control. Peace and good health.
