Abstract

Rats with lesions of the anterior midline hypothalamus were studied in reference to the regulation of body temperature and food intake. The data support the thesis that this area of the hypothalamus is involved not only with normal regulation of body temperature but also with food intake, and thus indirectly with internal heat production.
