Abstract
Conducted 3 experiments with a total of 36 male albino Sprague-Dawley rats and 54 male albino Carworth CFE rats. Ss with septal lesions were tested in a variety of consummatory situations (e.g., solution intake, direct stomach loads preceding pellet intake, and stomach preloads preceding glucose intake). The lesions resulted in exaggerated responding to taste factors and a decrease in responsivity to postingestive cues relative to control Ss. Results support the view that the septum is an important link in the feeding circuit. (15 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
