SPREADING DEPRESSION AND RECOVERY FROM LATERAL HYPOTHALAMIC DAMAGE.

Spreading cortical depression reinstates aphagia and adipsia in rats recovered from lateral hypothalamic lesions. We suggest that cortical activity facilitates and maintains recovery by enhancing the activity of depressed, but intact, tissue adjacent to the lesions.

Hypothalamic control of feeding and self-stimulation.

Hypothalamic sites which control feeding exert a corresponding control over lateral hypothalamic self-stimulation. This was demonstrated in rats bearing four, intrahypothalamic electrode-cannulas for electrical stimulation or chemical injection. Self-stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus was inhibited by ventromedial excitation or by excessive feeding. Both self-stimulation and feeding were accelerated (disinhibited) by ventromedial ablation or anesthetization. Thus food acts via the ventromedial hypothalamus to inhibit not only feeding, but also lateral hypothalamic self-stimulation.
