The hypothalamus is responsible for regulating appetite and satiety. A disorder in this area can lead to difficulty controlling one's appetite and feeling constantly hungry, as described in Garfield's case. The other brain regions listed (medulla, cerebral cortex, thalamus) are not specifically associated with appetite regulation.
