| Anatomical and behavioral evidence indicates the existence of neural control systems for drinking and feeding In both the hypothalamus and limbic system of the brain. In the present study, drinking behavior was elicited in two ways and in two different aspects of the drinking system. Electrical self-stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus induced drinking as did carbachol stimulation of the anterior medial forebrain bundle. Subsequent electrophysiological explorations failed to demonstrate a link between these two areas of the drinking system. |
