Physiologie (Bucarest)
|January 1, 1975
Abstract:
After complete, unilateral, frontolateral, dorsal isolation of the medial hypothalamus, VMH included, or fornix section above the hypothalamus, total food consumption and diurnal pattern of food intake were followed 85 days postoperatively. It is suggested that the saftety signals are generated not only in VMH nucleus, but in a VMH-retrochiasmatic region located anteriorly to the VMH.
