Where is satiety center located?
Likewise, people ask, what is the satiety Centre?
satiety center a group of cells in the ventromedial hypothalamus that when stimulated suppress the desire for food.
Additionally, what part of the brain controls hunger and satiety?
There are two places in the hypothalamus, part of the brain, that controls hunger and eating. The Ventromedial Nuclei gives a signal when to stop eating, and the Lateral hypothalamus gives a signal to start eating (e.g.,Coon 1995). We feel satiety at the brain level because of the function of the Ventromedial Nuclei.
Hunger and satiety are controlled by complex interactions between the nervous system, nutrients, mechanical sensing, circadian rhythms and hormones. Several neurotransmitters and neuropeptides in the hypothalamus are involved in the regulation of food intake.
