Abstract
Thresholds and stability of food motivational reactions induced by ele ctrostimulation of the left and right hypothalamus were studied in rab bits. Food reactions evoked by stimulation of the left hypothalamus ha d the lower thresholds and higher stability than those evoked by the s timulation of symmetrical areas. The asymmetry of the lateral hypothal amus in food reactions was not correlated with motor and sensory asymm etris.
