Specificity of chemical stimulation of the rat brain and other related issues in the interpretation of chemical stimulation data
George Singer,R.B. Montgomery +1 more
TL;DR: Data from studies using direct chemical stimulation of the rat brain to investigate eating and drinking behavior have given rise to the hypothesis of chemically coded neural control or behavior circuits, often in close spatial, anatomical proximity.

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) immunoreactivity in non-neuronal cells within the raphe nuclei and subventricular region of the brainstem of the cat.
TL;DR: MCH is present in tanycytes whose processes innervate the midbrain raphe nuclei and adjacent subependymal regions and it is suggested that MCH is absorbed from the CSF by tanyCytes and subsequently liberate to act upon neurons of brainstem nuclei.

Effects of lateral hypothalamic lesions on schedule dependent and schedule induced behavior
TL;DR: Results indicate that the neural mechanism which is involved in schedule induced polydipsia is destroyed by posterior bilateral LH lesions, which produced the most drastic effects on both schedule dependent and schedule induced behavior.

Craving for alcohol in the rat: Adjunctive behavior and the lateral hypothalamus
TL;DR: The Falk model of adjunctive behavior is an adequate analogue of human alcoholism and can be applied to induce excessive ethanol consumption and new data on the consumption of sweet flavored ethanol solutions and, especially, sweet alone solutions during brief periods of ethanol withdrawal provide some significant insights concerning the possible physiological basis for cravings.

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.
