| Abstract: | Long-Evans hooded rats were tested for emotionality and observed by pairs in an open field for 6 consecutive days. Postoperative observations indicated that both emotionality and social cohesiveness were dramatically altered by ventromedial and anterolateral hypothalamic lesions. Tegmental, interpeduncular and habenular lesions were shown to have no effect on these behaviors. Alterations in behavior observed following hypothalamic ablations were related to septal and amygdaloid effects, and the possibility of separate projection systems for emotionality and social cohesiveness was discussed. |
