Contrary to recent evidence, further data showing that intracranial self-stimulation behaviour in the pigeon is frequently hunger-dependent is reported. A compilation of reinforcing brain loci in the pigeon suggests an association with two dopaminergic systems, the paleostriatal complex and the nucleus basalis system, the latter being known to be involved in the control of feeding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
