Questão Responda
:) Anand & Brobeck (1951) AO2 (LH) -A lesion in the LH led to aphagia in rats -Backed up by studies where electrical stimulation of LH produced feeding behaviour in rats
:( However... (AO2) -Not just an on switch for eating; controls other behaviours too -Eating behaviour controlled by neural circuits, not just hypothalamus -Furthermore, the effects of lesioning the LH were only temporary, suggesting that it is not the only 'on' switch
:) Stanley et al (1986) AO2 -Repeated injections of NPY into hypothalamus of rat produces obesity in a few days -:) because research is scientific; cause & effect etc.
:) AO2 (VMH) -Lesions or damage to VMH resulted in hyperphagia and obesity -Therefore controls eating behaviour
:( Gold (1973) AO2 (VMH) -Lesions restricted to the VMH alone did not result in hyperphagia and only produced overeating when they included other areas such as the paraventricular nucleus -However, subsequent studies have failed to replicate this, and have found that animals with damaged VMH ate substantially more and gained more weight
:) Physiological research AO2 -Damage to amygdala could explain feeding abnormalities observed in Kluver-Bucy syndrome -This causes increased appetite, indiscriminate eating, and attempts to eat non-food items
