Salivary reactions after ventromedial hypothalamic lesions in dogs
Acta Neurobiologiae Experimentalis
|January 1, 1973
Abstract:
Lesions of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus produced an increase of food intake and body weight, marked augmentation of intertrial salivation, and transient disinhibition of salivation to the differentiated conditioned stimulus. It is concluded that damage of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus produces an increase of alimentary drive.
