The part of the brain that controls hunger and satiety is the hypothalamus.

Besides controlling hunger and eating, the hypothalamus also controls the mood of a person, sleep, and thirst. In addition, the hypothalamus manages your body temperature, body weight and blood pressure. The hypothalamus contains neurosecretory cells, which are neurons that produce hormones, meaning that hypothalamus has to do with daily hormones as well.
