cerebrum
This is the cerebrum, where higher-order thought processes occur. The cerebrum is responsible for mental processes such as memory recall, language, art, emotional control and many fine motor skills like the ability to write (or text).

🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/18
The short answer: the Hypothalamus.
In detail:
Hunger: Satiety and feeding centers are present in hypothalamus.
Thirst: Osmoreceptors in anterior hypothalamus.
Emotions: Mamillary nuclei below posterior hypothalamus which are also a part of limbic system in mammilothalamic tract.
Other than this, Hypothalamus has following functions:
Integrates control of Autonomic Nervous System (Hypothalamus is also called as head ganglion of ANS)
