This article discusses the role of the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) in feeding and drinking
and draws on data obtained from lesion and stimulation studies and neurochemical and …

Researchers over the last decade have made substantial progress toward understanding
the roles of dopamine and the basal ganglia (BG) in the control of sleep–wake behavior. In …

An animal's brain monitors energy in the environment and within the body and then adjusts
eating behavior, energy utilization, and fat stores to maintain a balance. This chapter will …

Microdialysis was performed to quantitate lateral hypothalamic dopamine (LHA DA) release
before, during and after a single meal in food-deprived obese and lean Zucker rats to …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) has been reported to be essential in neural control of feeding. In
the present study, we aimed to provide a complex characterization of behavioral …

The septal region represents an important telencephalic center integrating neuronal activity
of cortical areas with autonomous processes. To support the functional analysis of this brain …

The lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) and globes pallidtaz (GP) are basically involved in the
regulation of feeding and metabolic processes. In the LHA, glucose-sensitive (GS) neurons …

The present study was performed to determine whether low doses (10 or 40 ng) of bombesin
microinjected into the amygdala could modify solid food intake. Forty ng of bombesin in 24 h …

The activity of glucose-sensitive (GS) and glucose-insensitive (GIS) neurons was recorded
in the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) of monkeys during olfactory stimulation, a conditioned …

Kainic acid (KA), in various concentrations, was applied iontophoretically into the central
nucleus of the amygdala. Microlesions with this cell specific neurotoxin caused body weight …
