Abstract
Injection of sodium pentobarbital solutions were carried out in chickens, through permanently implanted cannulas in the brain. Chickens with cannulas implanted in the third ventricle, above the hypothalamic ventromedial area, responded with immediate increase in feed intake and vigorous pecking behaviour which lasted from 10–60 min. Chickens with cannulas implanted in the posterior lateral hypothalamus showed no changes in their feed intake or eating behaviour after sodium pentobarbital injection. The results with chickens correspond to those obtained with rats, cats and dogs.
