Sensory neglect produced by lateral hypothalamic damage.
Unilateral lateral hypothalamlic lesions in rats produce deficits in orientation to contralateral visucal, olfactory, whisker-toluch, and somatosetnsory stimuli. This syndrome of sensory neglect appears to be involved in some of the deficits in feedinig and attack which follow bilateral lateral hypothalamic lesions.
