The hypothalamus controls apetites of various sorts. It is a nerve centre deep in the diencephalon area which controls the automatic nervous system, food intake, sexual rhythms, emotions and memory.

 

The limbic system is a group of deep cortical structures connected to the hypothalamus, governing memory, emotions and basic drives, including sex drive.

 

I can't think of any more, and none, I know is eight letters.
