✦ Synopsis


Amphetamine, fenfiuramine, and chlorphentermine were tested for their effect on feeding and hoarding activity in rats, and the results interpreted according to a hypothalamic model for the regulation of motivated behaviour. All three compounds inhibited both feeding and hoarding, and the degree of inhibition was dose-dependent. Since feeding and hoarding are both influenced by activity in the lateral hypothalamus while feeding alone is modified by ventromedial hypothalamie activity, the result is consistent with a direct (inhibitory) action of the drugs on the lateral hypothalamus, rather than on the ventromedial region.
