the hypothalamus is responsible for reflexes like eating and licking. It regulates hormonal functions, emotions, behaviors, body temp, eating, and drinking. But the mammillary gland processes the information and controls these functions.  So if you have hypothalamus or mammillary gland, those are the answers.
