Abstract
Electrodes were stereotaxically implanted in the medial hypothalamic "satiety" and lateral "feeding" centres as well as in other hypothalamic and cerebral cortical regions. The electrical activity of these regions was recorded electroencephalographically. Changes in blood sugar, blood proteins and blood lipid contents were produced and their effects on the electrical activity observed. Hyperglycaemia increased the activity of the "satiety" centres and produced some drop in voltage in the electrical activity of the "feeding" centres. Hypoglycaemia decreased the activity of the "satiety" centres and occasionally slightly increased the activity of the "feeding" centres. No change in the activities of other areas was observed. Increased in blood proteins and blood lipid contents did not change the hypothalamic activity. It appears therefore, that the medial "satiety" regions of the hypothalamus show a glucoreceptor mechanism.
