The lateral hypothalamus and energy balance : facilitation and inhibition of perifornical self-stimulation by long- and short-term metabolic signals
Electrical stimulation of certain brain areas produces a robust effect that directs the animal towards obtaining more stimulation. This phenomenon is believed to result from the activation of neural circuits that direct the animal towards naturally-occurring reinforcers such as food. The lateral hyp...
