Well, I suppose the hypothalamus plays a role in eating, since it is the “regulator” of the body. I really don’t think there’s a simple answer to your question though, since so many factors go into eating and body weight. Social eating v.s nutritional eating are going to be controlled by different mechanisms. I’m not sure that there is a part of the brain that influences body weight….the pituitary gland may play a role, but again, there are so many other factors to consider.
