Hypothalamus: The hypothalamus is a small but powerful brain region located deep within the brain. It plays a crucial role in regulating hunger and thirst, as well as other important bodily functions.
Amygdala: The amygdala is another brain region involved in emotion processing. While it doesn't directly control hunger and thirst, it can influence our emotional responses to food and water.
Medulla Oblongata: The medulla oblongata is part of the brainstem and helps regulate basic survival functions such as breathing, heart rate, and swallowing. It also plays a role in controlling hunger and thirst signals.
