Impairment of salivary reflexes after lateral hypothalamic lesions in dogs.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of lateral hypothalamic lesions on salivary conditioned and unconditioned reflexes were investigated on seven dogs. Subsequent to the operation during the period of aphagia and hypophagia a total lack (6 dogs), or a decrease (1 dog) of conditioned salivary reaction was found. Strong diminution of unconditioned reactions and intertrial salivation were observed. At the end of the observation period (7 months) the conditioned and unconditioned salivary reflexes were still diminished reaching levels of 12-54 percent and 35-75 percent respectively in comparison with the pre-operative period. The mechanism of the impairment of salivary reactions was discussed.

Salivary reactions in dogs with dorsomedial amygdalar lesions.
In dogs with chronic parotid fistula, conditioned salivary reactions reinforced by food were established. After bilateral lesions of the dorsomedial part of the amygdaloid complex, the conditioned salivary reactions were greatly diminished. Also the unconditioned salivation decreased. This decrease was greater in dogs which revealed the whole syndrome of amygdalar aphagia, but it was also evide...
متن کاملElectromyographic assessment of spinal reflexes in experimentally depressed dogs treated with antidepressants.
In seven mongrel dogs the syndrome of depression was evoked by bilateral electrolytic lesions in lateral hypothalamus and/or dorsomedial amygdala. The effects of tricyclic antidepressants on general mood, spinal reflexes recorded by electromyographic method, and head rate were tested. The reactivity to most external stimuli was increased and general depression was slightly reduced.

Since the.discovery of Anand and Brobeck (1951), the hypothalamus is considered a s the main "food center". From this time many authors (Miller 1957, Wyrwicka 1957, Morgane 1961, Teitelbaum and Epstein 1962, Balinska 1963, and others) studied different aspects of the effects of hypothalamic lesions and hypothalamic stimulation on food intake mechanisms and conditioned reflexes in cats, rats, ra...
متن کاملThe effects of ventromedial hypothalamic lesions on food intake and alimentary instrumental conditioned reflexes in dogs.
There is considerable evidence that the ventromedial part of hypotha-lamus is an important part of the alimentary system playing the role of the satiety center. Several experiments have shown that bilateral lesions of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus produce marked overeating and lead to obesity. Conversely electrical stimulation of this area by means of chronically implanted electrodes in...
متن کاملSalivary reactions after ventromedial hypothalamic lesions in dogs.
Lesions of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus produced an increase of food intake and body weight, marked augmentation of intertrial salivation, and transient disinhibition of salivation to the differentiated conditioned stimulus. It is concluded that damage of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus produces an increase of alimentary drive.
