Which part of the brain controls homeostasis?
The hypothalamus, in the limbic system, is the part of the brain that controls homeostasis. It receives signals from other parts of the nervous system and even blood and spinal fluids which tell if a body is hungry, full, too hot, too cold, in dark or in light, and many other bits of information that relate to keeping the human organism in optimal operating condition.
