Editing Hypothalamus (section)

=== Learning arbitrator ===
Recent research has questioned whether the lateral hypothalamus's role is only restricted to initiating and stopping innate behaviors and argued it learns about food-related cues. Specifically, that it opposes learning about information what is neutral or distant to food. According this view, the lateral hypothalamus is "a unique arbitrator of learning capable of shifting behavior toward or away from important events".<ref name="h081">{{cite journal | vauthors = Sharpe MJ | title = The cognitive (lateral) hypothalamus | journal = Trends in Cognitive Sciences | volume = 28 | issue = 1 | pages = 18–29 | date = January 2024 | pmid = 37758590 | pmc = 10841673 | doi = 10.1016/j.tics.2023.08.019 }}</ref>
