-
The nerve centres which control the body temperature and the urge for eating are contained inThe hypothalamus lies at the base of the thalamus in the forebrain.
It contains a number of centres which control body temperature and the urge for eating and drinking.
It also contains groups of neurosecretory cells that secrete hypothalamic hormones.
The thalamus is the major coordinating centre for sensory and motor signalling, the pons connects different regions of the brain, and the cerebellum maintains posture and balance.
Hence these nerve centres are contained in the hypothalamus.
