  3. The hunger center of the human brain is located in the Hypothalamus.
  4. The hypothalamus, which is positioned under the midline of the brain, behind the eyes, coordinates the body's mechanism for controlling food intake.
  5. The hypothalamus contains nerve cells that, when triggered, cause a sense of hunger.
