A role for hippocampus in the utilization of hunger signals
TL Davidson, LE Jarrard�- Behavioral and neural biology, 1993 - Elsevier
The hippocampus is generally regarded as an important anatomical substrate for learning
and memory (eg, Eichenbaum, Otto, & Cohen, Behavioral and Neural Biology, 57, 2–36,
1992; Squire, Psychological Review, 99, 195–231, 1992). In the present research, we
provide evidence that the hippocampus is also involved with another function—utilization of
hunger state signals. Rats with selective ibotenate lesions of the hippocampus were found to
be impaired in their ability to discriminate between the interoceptive sensory consequences�…
