A malfunctioning hypothalamus can disrupt several critical functions in the body, including the regulation of temperature, hunger, thirst, sleep-wake cycles, and emotional responses. It plays a key role in controlling the endocrine system by influencing hormone release from the pituitary gland, which can affect growth, metabolism, and stress responses. Additionally, it can impact reproductive functions and circadian rhythms, leading to various physiological and behavioral issues. Overall, a malfunctioning hypothalamus can severely compromise homeostasis and overall health.
Its the brain's mouth
Least descriptive of the hypothalamus would be "responsible for cognitive functions" as the hypothalamus is primarily involved in regulating various physiological processes such as body temperature, hunger, and thirst, rather than cognitive functions.
Can a brain lesion cause excessive thirst even if the pituitary gland is normal? Also where would the lesion be located?

That would be the hypothalamus, the gland of homeostasis.
No, because hypothalamus is the control center of homeostasis without it, it would be impossible to live. Hypothalamus controls almost vital functions for survival. such as: respirations, digestion, blood pressures, heart rate, and among many other things.
that would be the hypothalamus!
No food product is going to help "an abnormal hypothalamus". To even know you have an "abnormal hypothalamus", you'd need to be diagnosed by a neurologist, who would then recommend treatment options.
If the hypothalamus stopped working the body would no longer be able to maintain body temperature or the metabolism
The thalamus is the part of the brain that controls arousal. Coincidentally, it is adjacent to the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that is responsible for bodily functions. It is not uncommon for the "wires" as one would say to get crossed resulting in one being aroused by acts related to bodily functions.
