  • Title: [The role of the orbital cortex in feeding behavior].
    Author: Danilova LK.
    Journal: Zh Vyssh Nerv Deiat Im I P Pavlova; 1975; 25(3):520-8. PubMed ID: 1202815.
    Abstract:
    It has been found that extirpation of the orbital zones of the cerebral cortex in dogs in which the structures of the limbic and striate levels of nervous integration were previously ablated, produced more profound disturbances of the higher nervous activity than the previous operations. Not only conditioned positive and inhibitory reactions were affected, but unconditioned alimentary reflexes as well, while food motivation sharply decreased. Further experiments on the operated animals and could go on, only when alimentary excitability was enhanced. A conclusion has been drawn that the orbital zones of the cerebral cortex are directly related to the achievement of an integrated alimentary behavioral reaction.
