TL;DR: Having a variety of foods presented in succession during a meal enhances intake, and the more different the foods are the greater the enhancement is likely to be.

TL;DR: Small lesions essentially restricted to the PVN are found to produce overeating and increased body weight, in both female and male rats maintained on either lab chow pellets or high fat mash.

TL;DR: Nulliparous animals were found to be more fearful than parturient animals: they had longer emergence latencies, they ambulated less in the open field, they crossed proportionately fewer central, as opposed to peripheral, squares in the field, and they were more inclined to flee from the intruder.

TL;DR: It was found that whenever a marked taste difference exists, there is a trend toward a relatively large difference in threshold values between the enantiomers, but it was not found that a large change in threshold was always accompanied by a significant quality difference, or that the particular taste quality of either of the pair was a predictor of the magnitude of the threshold ratio or of which of the two forms had the highest threshold.

TL;DR: The behaviour of male Wistar rats given repeated daily injections of scopolamine over a 14 day acquisition period was compared with that of controls treated with isotonic saline on an 8-arm radial maze, and the similarity of effect of hippocampal lesions and anticholinergic drug treatment was discussed.

TL;DR: T-shirts worn by individual children were correctly identified by the siblings and mothers of those children through olfactory cues alone and Bodily odors may be salient stimuli for kin recognition among humans.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the periodicity of circadian activity systematically varies as a function of the stage of the estrous cycle and in a manner that cannot be solely explained by corresponding alterations in endogenous estrogen.

TL;DR: In the first study, dieters salivated more than did nondieters, although there were no differences in baseline salivation level, acute deprivation, or rated palatability of the food stimulus.

TL;DR: Male Wistar rats given repeated daily injections of scopolamine (0.3 mg/kg), or isotonic saline, over a 15 day acquisition period were trained in an 8-arm radial maze using a confinement procedure to reduce the likelihood that animals would resort to non-spatial strategies to solve the maze.

TL;DR: Lean and obese human subjects were observed during various single or mixed flavor meals of different palatability level, and a precise temporal analysis of their intrameal eating and drinking patterns was realized.

TL;DR: The data support earlier work which indicate that plasma corticosterone is not a sensitive index of stress; this is probably the case because of the relatively narrow range of responsiveness of the adrenal cortex to ACTH.

TL;DR: The results indicate that circadian rhythms of food intake are attributable to circadian oscillations in both meal parameters, and suggest a competitive relationship between circadian rhythms and the metabolic controls underlying the rat's meal pattern.

TL;DR: Both cation and anion contributed to the taste of halide salts.

TL;DR: Both weanling and adult obese mice, as obese rats, are less sensitive to the putative satiety agent CCK-8.

TL;DR: It is suggested that epinephrine and possibly norepinephrine are involved in neural control of feed intake, but not water consumption in chickens.

TL;DR: Data support the proposition that the lateral tegmental area is involved in the inhibition of the rat's acoustic startle response and cross-modal in that the group with lesions of the lateral Tegmental Area showed decreased inhibition to both acoustic and visual prestimuli.

TL;DR: Intraperitoneal administration of cholecystokinin octapeptide decreased investigation of environmental objects and interactions with a female mouse, while increasing the amount of time spent in the corners of the test arena and the duration of non-exploratory pauses.

TL;DR: In sheep intracerebroventricular administration of opiate agonists increased food intake; peripheral administration ofOpiate antagonists decreased food intake and blocked the feeding induced by agonists.

TL;DR: The effects of selective lesions of the lateral, medial or entire septum on theta production in CA1 and dentate were studied in the chronically implanted rat, suggesting that the pathways mediating the theta inputs to the CA1

TL;DR: The findings are discussed in terms of their relationship to other sexually dimophic T-dependent masculine behaviors and the potential importance of infanticide for rodent reproductive strategies and population regulation.

TL;DR: A significant, positive correlation was found between the sizes of mixed and varied meals and the lengths of postprandial intervals and this quantitative relationship between meal size and meal timing is similar to patterns reported for freely feeding rats.

TL;DR: Cette lesion perturbe l'acquisition d'un apprentissage de labyrinthe a choix multiple and supprime le phenomene d'augmentation de sommeil paradoxal consecutif a l'apprentissages.

TL;DR: The daily drinking behavior of the rats with basolateral amygdaloid lesions appeared consistent with the hypothesis that this lesion affected the animals' appreciation of the novelty of the sucrose solution, and hence attenuated the subsequent aversion.

TL;DR: The development of social play depends on the presence of testicular androgens for at least 6 days after birth, and castration on day 1 or 6 reduced male play to levels that were not reliably different from females.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a rise in the intracellular level of cAMP is involved in the hormone facilitation of sexual behavior in estrogen primed rats.

TL;DR: It is found that administration of estrogen and progesterone to neurologically intact female rats induces sexual receptivity and increases the frequency with which a female approaches a sexually active male.

TL;DR: It is suggested that in the forebrain rostral to the level of the locus coeruleus and raphe nuclei a mechanism inducing ECoG changes in transition from the slow wave sleep to waking and vice versa is localized.

TL;DR: There is a significant reverse correlation between degree of overweight and the threshold of the nociceptive reflex, and the hypothesis of an abnormality of the endogenous morphine-like system or of their control in human obesity is suggested.

TL;DR: Significant differences were found among the three strains in the frequency and severity of autotomy and stress-related pain behavior observed over a 12 week period.
