Abstract
Electrical stimulation of the ventromedial hypothalamus inhibited feeding in hungry rats. Neither knife cuts of the VMH-LH connections nor LH electrolytic lesions significantly altered the feeding inhibitory effects of medial stimulation. This suggests that the common assumption that the VMH inhibits the LH feeding system is incorrect. However, electrical stimulation may not be an appropriate method to study VMH feeding pathways, and this problem is discussed.
