| Popis: | The "waist" area and external subnuclei of the parabrachial nucleus (PBN) have been implicated in the processing of gustatory information, yet their behavioral roles are not clearly defined. In the current study, areas within and surrounding the PBN were stimulated while oromotor behaviors were monitored in conscious rats. Electrical and chemical (100 mM glutamate) stimulation of the waist area increased ingestive oromotor behaviors over baseline (p |
