Abstract
In a search for the neural mechanisms that regulate feed intake in chickens, 625 sites in the anterior hypothalamus and supra- and pre-optic areas of the brains of sixty-eight chickens were stimulated through chronically-implanted electrodes. Feeding behaviour was elicited reliably from only six sites, and none of these led to feeding on the normal feed (mash) during stimulation.
