[A comparison of the efficiency of stimulation of the right and left lateral hypothalamus during a self-stimulation reaction].
Higher rate of the right-side self-stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus than of the left-side was found in freely behaving (30 +/- 8 versus 16 +/- 5 pressings per minute) and fixed rabbits (15 +/- 3 versus 10 +/- 2 pressings per minute, accordingly) under conditions of optimal current (current strength was leveled about the thresholds of food motivational reactions).
