Abstract excerpt
Monopolar electrodes were implanted bilaterally and symmetrically into a small well defined region of the posterior lateral hypothalamus in 11 rats of the selected strains Roman high-avoidance (RHA/Verh, 6 animals) and Roman low-avoidance (RLA/Verh, 5 animals). Intracranial electrical stimulation (ICS) was used to study possible strain difference with respect to self-stimulation behaviour. Using a shuttle-box,...
