Abstract
Electrical stimulation of the rat's olfactory bulb or lateral olfactory tract elicited unit discharges in the region of the medial forebrain bundle of the lateral hypothalamus, with latencies of 4 to 25 milliseconds. Unit responses in this area were driven by odors in preparations that were paralyzed to prevent breathing artifacts.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
