Medial versus lateral parabrachial nucleus lesions in the rat: effects on mercaptoacetate-induced feeding and conditioned taste aversion.

abstract：:Catecholaminergic systems, specifically in the region of the lateral perifornical hypothalamus (PFH), have been linked to the inhibition of feeding behavior. The present studies examined the effects of d-amphetamine (AMPH), which is believed to act through the release of endogenous catecholamines (CAs), on spontaneous...
