title: Olfactory input to the hypothalamus: electrophysiological evidence.
abstract: Electrical stimulation of the rat's olfactory bulb or lateral olfactory tract elicited unit discharges in the region of the medial forebrain bundle of the lateral hypothalamus, with latencies of 4 to 25 milliseconds. Unit responses in this area were driven by odors in preparations that were paralyzed to prevent breathing artifacts.
