Lateral hypothalamic stimulation: Experience and deprivation as factors in rat’s licking of empty drinking tubes

TL;DR: Animals’ behavior when 24 or 48 h food deprived was compared with their behavior when given high or low electrical stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus to see if the previous experience of drinking sucrose from tubes could induce the animals in both conditions to respond on the tubes when empty.

Insulinogenic mediation of schedule induced polydipsia

TL;DR: It is concluded that it is highly unlikely that SIP is mediated through autonomic influences on insulin secretion, since various selective vagotomies failed to reduce SIP, and the atropine effect was probably non-specific.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of basolateral amygdaloid lesions on schedule induced and schedule dependent behavior

TL;DR: Although no effects were observed in licking, water consumption, and lever pressing, animals with bilateral symmetrical lesions of the basolateral amygdala displayed relatively permanent deficits in their responses to various taste stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lick rate during lateral hypothalamic electrical stimulation in the rat

TL;DR: Although lick rate did not change as a function of water deprivation, it increased during LH electrical stimulation when the intensity was increased, and the influence of the LH on motor excitability was found to be significant.

The nature and determinants of adjunctive behavior

TL;DR: The similarities among the various behaviors induced as adjuncts to the behaviors under direct schedule control are described in terms of their intensities, temporal loci, and the variables which produce them.

Glucose and Osmosensitive Neurones of the Rat Hypothalamus

TL;DR: The direct effects of glucose on individual cells of the VMH and LH are studied by means of electro-osmotic applications of glucose from micropipettes—the method used by Krnjević and Whittaker in other regions in the brain.

Conditions producing psychogenic polydipsia in animals

TL;DR: The evidence will be examined to determine whether thispolydipsic phenomenon can be explained either on physiological grounds or with respect to simple behavioral considerations, and the variables of which the polydipsia is a function will be summarized.
