on a short-term basis by two clusters of cells called nuclei

Body Chemistry and the Brain Hunger is controlled by the 2 parts of the
hypothalamus. The Lateral Hypothalamus brings in the
hunger. The Lower-Mid Hypothalamus
depresses hunger ( feeling full)

system, which establishes a “set-point” that regulates body weight on a long-term basis.

Hunger Theories Developed by Clark Hull in 1943 Drive theory is based on the principle
that organisms are born with certain psychological needs and that a negative state of tension is created when these needs are not satisfied
Drive Reduction- When the need is met the organism returns to a state of homeostasis and relaxation.
