    The hypothalamus in the diencephalon region of the forebrain controls homeostasis and regulates hunger, satiety, and sexual behaviors. It contains the lateral hypothalamus hunger center and the ventromedial hypothalamus satiety center. The pituitary gland located below the hypothalamus controls hormone release through signals from the hypothalamus' anterior and posterior lobes.
