LATERAL HYPOTHALAMIC STIMULATION IN SATIATED RATS: T-MAZE LEARNING FOR FOOD.

It is well known that electrical stimulation in portions of the lateral hypothalamic area is positively reinforcing and induces eating in satiated rats. We have found that continuous stimulation of this kind can also motivate satiated and previously untrained rats to learn the location of food in a T-maze. Efficient acquisition and reversal of discriminations for food indicate that lateral hypothalamic stimulation exerts motivational effects which are functionally equivalent to those of food deprivation.

CAUDATE NUCLEUS LESIONS: BEHAVIORAL EFFECTS IN THE RAT.

Bilateral lesions within the caudate nucleus led to a marked impairmentc on acquistion and retention tion of a spatial alternation habit but produced no deficit in Hebb-Williams maze performance. Conversely, subtotal bilateral lesions of posterior cortex produced no significant deficit on the alternation habit but markedly impaired maze performance.
