Abstract
To make real-time measurements of glutamate in the ventromedial globus pallidus (vGP) in rats during free ingestive behavior, a recently dev eloped dialysis biosensor was employed. The glutamate level in the vGP increased in response to intraoral infusions of various fluids and vo luntary ingestion of food pellets. Palatable fluids evoked greater res ponses than unpalatable fluids did, suggesting that glutamate in the v GP is involved in ingestive behavior. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Irelan d Ltd.
