Abstract
Nine VMH-lesioned rats were tested for photocell and open-field activity at nonobese and obese body weights at 0%, 10%, and 20% deprivation. An increased activity level was displayed by the nonobese VMH animals, but only under food-deprivation conditions. Conversely, a decreased activity level was displayed by obese VMH animals, but once again, only during deprived testing conditions. The results are discussed in terms of recent findings regarding the VMH-lesioned rat’s activity level and willingness to work for food.
