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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The lateral hypothalamic area revisited: Ingestive behavior

TL;DR: The LHA is discussed regarding dietary self-selection, responses to high-protein diets, amino acid imbalances, liquid and cafeteria diets, placentophagia, "stress eating," finickiness, diet texture, consistency and taste, aversion learning, olfaction and the effects of post-operative period manipulations by hormonal and other means.

Tactile extinction: distinguishing between sensorimotor and motor asymmetries in rats with unilateral nigrostriatal damage

TL;DR: The bilateral adhesive removal (tactile extinction) test appears to permit the separate quantification of stimulus-directed and stimulus-independent movement asymmetries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective disruption of displacement behaviour by lesions of the mesolimbic dopamine system

TL;DR: It is reported here that an experimental analogue of displacement behaviour in the rat depends upon the integrity of the mesolimbic dopaminergic projection to the nucleus accumbens septi, olfactory tubercle and associated structures of the forebrain.

The hypothalamus and motivated behavior

TL;DR: Eating, drinking and gnawing motivation interchangeability under hypothalamic stimulation, noting role of neural substrate activation was found in this paper, where the authors showed that eating, drinking, eating and eating can be correlated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of hypothalamic thermoceptive structures on the electroencephalogram and gamma motor activity

TL;DR: It is concluded that the effects of hypothalamic heating are mediated by common relays influencing both gamma motor and cortical activity, and the muscle spindle test has been found to be a useful index of that system.

Hypothalamic Motivational Systems: Fixed or Plastic Neural Circuits?

TL;DR: These findings suggest an alternative to the hypothesis that the neural organization of hypothalamic drive systems is modified by experience, and electrical stimulation through the same electrode in the hypothalamus of a satiated rat is suggested.
