    Hunger does affect brain function, because when a person is hungry, a hormone called "GHRELIN" is produced in the stomach mucosa, which has an important effect on a person's appetite. This hormone is produced in the gastric mucosa and enters the brain through blood circulation, which can cause a series of reactions, such as exciting many different growth factors in the pituitary gland, which in turn will cause a chain reaction in other areas of the brain, thus playing a role The effect of improving brain function.
