Abstract
Bipolar electrodes were implanted in large goldfish in olfactory and nonolfactory areas of the central nervous system. Stimulation of olfactory areas elicited stereotyped feeding activity indistinguishable from normally induced behavior. It is suggested that the olfactory rather than the peripheral gustatory system plays the predominant role in the arousal of feeding activity.Keywords
