Abstract: | Unilateral electrical stimulation of the amygdala in hooded rats produced behavioral convulsions and an increased rate of weight gain. The weight increase was correlated with the occurrence of convulsions and was not due to hyperphagia or polydipsia. Results are discussed in terms of a possible modification of the energy balance system. |
