[Effect of glucose on the convergent properties of neurons of the lateral hypothalamic field of the medial portion of the hypothalamus].
In anesthetized cats, extracellular recording of the unit activity revealed a considerable convergence of stimuli of different modality: no difference was observed between patterns of responses to visceral, somatic, visual or sound stimuli. I. v. infusion of glucose reduced the convergence ability in 26% of the neurons under study whereas increasing it in 9.7%. Firing rate was reduced in 24.3%. The data obtained emphasized the effect of glucose on functioning of the cells of lateral part of the hypothalamus.
